Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1949, has undergone renovations as stated in the description, including the kitchen, master bathroom, dining room, and flooring. While these updates make the home move-in ready, the visual evidence from the images suggests these renovations are not recent. The kitchen features light wood cabinets and dark granite countertops, which appear to be from 10-20 years ago, not a modern remodel. Bathrooms, particularly the one with seashell-themed tiles, and the master bath with a jacuzzi and tanning room, reflect styles from 15-25 years ago. The unique built-in waterfall and checkered/speckled tile flooring also contribute to an outdated aesthetic rather than a contemporary one. Major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or older given the 1949 build year, and while functional, they show signs of being outdated in style and potentially age.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Layout & Income Potential: The property is designed to function as two separate units (2BR/1BA front, 3BR/3BA back), offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or potential rental income.
Extensive Recent Interior Upgrades: The seller has invested in significant modernizations, including a remodeled kitchen, master bathroom, dining room, and new flooring, enhancing the home's appeal and reducing immediate buyer expenses.
Luxurious Master Suite Amenities: The huge upstairs master suite features a master bath equipped with a jacuzzi and a tanning room, providing a private, high-end, and unique spa-like experience within the home.
Distinctive Entertainment Features: The living room is enhanced with a built-in fish tank and a waterfall, offering unique aesthetic appeal and a focal point for entertainment and relaxation.
Enhanced Exterior & Security: The property boasts beautiful landscaping, a surrounding brick wall, and an automatic gate opener, contributing to privacy, security, and strong curb appeal.
Cons
Significant Overpricing Relative to Estimated Value: The listing price of $1.18 million is drastically higher than the property's estimated value of $432,908.25, suggesting a substantial overvaluation that could deter potential buyers or indicate a challenging sale.
Age of Core Systems (Built 1949): Despite some remodels, the property's 1949 construction year implies that critical underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or require significant updates, which are not detailed and could lead to unforeseen expenses.
High Maintenance & Utility Costs for Unique Features: The specialized amenities such as a jacuzzi, tanning room, built-in fish tank, and waterfall, while appealing, are likely to incur considerable ongoing maintenance, repair, and increased utility costs.
