Property is extensive renovation needed.
This property is a classic fixer-upper requiring substantial rehabilitation and modernization. While the HVAC and water heater were updated in 2017, the core of the home is severely dated, featuring a 1970s-era kitchen, wood-paneled walls, drop ceilings, and worn flooring. The listing description itself suggests the possibility of taking the structure 'down to the studs,' indicating that major systems, cosmetic finishes, and potentially structural elements need significant investment to meet modern living standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12632, living area = 2082.
Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood near Fair Oaks Village and the American River bike trail, offering exceptional lifestyle appeal and strong investment potential.
The large 0.29-acre lot is a private oasis featuring mature fruit trees and flowering gardens, providing ample space for outdoor living or property expansion.
With a kitchen dating back to the 1970s and an overall aged interior, the home requires a substantial capital investment to modernize or rebuild.
The roof is only partially in good condition and the home's age—potentially dating to 1904—suggests possible hidden structural or system challenges beyond the 2017 HVAC updates.
