Excellent
TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Despite being built in 1937, the property has undergone comprehensive recent renovations that meet the 'Excellent' criteria. Key updates include a high-end chef's kitchen with Wolf appliances and heated floors, a completely remodeled bathroom, and a recently renovated basement and foundation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

- Comprehensive System Updates
Significant capital improvements including a new roof, new AC, updated plumbing, electrical, and a renovated foundation offer long-term value and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
- Versatile Finished Basement
A recently renovated 390-square-foot finished basement provides valuable flexible space for a home office, gym, or additional storage, which is a rare find for homes of this vintage.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1552, other record living area = 1162.
- Limited Bed/Bath Count
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration may restrict the property's appeal to larger families or buyers requiring a dedicated guest bathroom.
- Compact Lot Size
At 4,500 square feet, the lot size is relatively modest for the price point, potentially limiting outdoor entertaining space or future expansion of the home's footprint.
