Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1956 but features significant recent renovations including a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and updated cabinetry, as well as recently remodeled bathrooms with contemporary tiling and vanities. The inclusion of updated dual-pane windows and a mix of newer flooring suggests a well-maintained, move-in ready home, though some dated elements like wood paneling and acoustic ceiling tiles in the converted garage prevent an 'excellent' rating.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Lack of Covered Parking
The garage conversion eliminates traditional enclosed parking and vehicle storage, which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing protected parking.
- Extended Market Time
With 44 days on the market and a recent price adjustment, the property may be facing increased competition or buyer hesitation in the current Sacramento market.
