Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1970 but shows clear evidence of being well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen has been updated with newer solid-surface countertops and stainless steel appliances, and modern flooring has been installed throughout. The exterior, pool, and living areas appear functional and refreshed, fitting the criteria for a property with 5-15 year old renovations.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7150, living area = 1624.
- Outdoor Amenities & Storage
The property features a private backyard pool and patio area on a spacious corner lot, complemented by rare additional parking space for a boat or RV.
- Flexible Floor Plan
The home offers a permitted family room expansion and a versatile primary suite that can easily be converted back into a fourth bedroom to suit growing families.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1624, other record living area = 1557.
- School District Ratings
The assigned public schools currently hold lower ratings (ranging from 3 to 5), which may be a significant consideration for education-focused buyers.
- Reduced Bedroom Count
While the primary suite expansion adds luxury, the current 3-bedroom configuration may limit appeal for buyers requiring four distinct bedrooms without immediate renovation.
