More Insights
This property has been on the market for 87 days.
Built in 1919 (106 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1919, is move-in ready and has undergone significant updates, including hardwood floors throughout and an updated kitchen with quartz countertops. While the description mentions 'stainless steel appliances,' the images show black and white appliances, which are functional but not high-end. The bathrooms are clean and functional but feature very specific, bold wallpaper choices that may not appeal to all buyers and could be considered cosmetically outdated. The second cottage is also functional and clean but basic. Overall, the property is well-maintained and livable without immediate major renovations, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, rather than a full, high-end recent renovation.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual Dwelling / Income Potential: The property features two distinct homes (a main house and a separate cottage with its own driveway and gated yard), offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or dedicated work/guest spaces.
Updated Main Residence: The primary home boasts an updated kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and 9ft ceilings, providing a modern and inviting living environment.
Expansive & Usable Lot with Views: Set on a nearly half-acre, mostly flat lot, the property offers ample outdoor space for gardening and recreation, complemented by serene redwood forest views from a wrap-around deck.
Versatile Outbuilding: A detached 1-car garage provides valuable additional space, ideal for a workshop, artist studio, or extra storage, enhancing the property's utility.
Commuter Accessibility: The listing highlights an 'easy commute location,' appealing to buyers who prioritize convenient access to nearby employment centers or amenities.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1919, the property's age may imply potential for deferred maintenance, older infrastructure, or higher insurance premiums, particularly in a wooded area.
Extended Market Time & Price Adjustment: With 87 days on market and a recent price reduction from $999,000 to $950,000, the property may have faced challenges in attracting buyers at its initial price point, suggesting market resistance or perceived value concerns.
Modest Individual Home Sizes: While offering two units, the individual square footages (929 sqft for the main house and 582 sqft for the cottage) are relatively compact, which might not suit buyers seeking larger primary living spaces in either dwelling.
