Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition and has undergone extensive renovations, likely within the last 8-10 years based on the modern finishes and sales history. The kitchen is well-appointed with updated shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms have been modernized, including a large ADA-accessible primary shower. While the home features high-quality updates like recessed lighting, luxury vinyl flooring, and a significant 30-panel solar system, the renovation likely falls outside the 5-year window required for an 'excellent' rating, placing it firmly in the 'good' category.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Holmes Elementary School (9/10).

  • Significant Solar Energy Savings

    The property includes approximately 30 paid-off, grandfathered solar panels, offering substantial long-term energy efficiency and meaningful utility cost savings for the homeowner.

  • Versatile Split Floor Plan

    The thoughtfully designed 1,883 sq ft layout features a rare split floor plan, providing a private, oversized, and ADA-accessible primary suite separate from the three secondary bedrooms.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Modest Lot-to-House Ratio

    With a 5,300 sq ft lot and a nearly 1,900 sq ft footprint, the outdoor space is relatively compact, which may limit options for those seeking a large backyard or significant expansion.

  • Inconsistent School Ratings

    While some nearby elementary schools are highly rated, the assigned middle and high schools currently hold lower performance ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
