Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Although originally built in 1890, this estate has undergone an exquisite custom remodel that brings it to modern luxury standards. The main residence features high-end Craftsman-style finishes, multiple updated kitchens with premium appliances, and a library. The property includes two permitted detached cottages and an attached rental unit, all appearing well-maintained with no signs of deferred maintenance. The combination of historic charm and comprehensive modern updates to the flooring, fixtures, and systems justifies an excellent rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Multi-Unit Versatility

    The property offers exceptional flexibility and income potential with a main residence, an attached one-bedroom rental, and two additional permitted detached cottages.

  • Expansive Private Lot
