Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and has undergone extensive recent cosmetic renovations, including new wide-plank flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, recessed lighting, and new stainless steel kitchen appliances. While the home presents as modern and clean, the kitchen features painted original-style cabinetry rather than a full replacement, and the bathrooms show standard updates like pedestal sinks. Built in 1960, the property is well-maintained with significant recent improvements but does not meet the 'excellent' criteria of a full-scale new construction or total structural renovation.
The property includes two separate parcels totaling over 12,500 sq ft, offering a rare opportunity to build a second home or multiple ADUs on the additional flat lot.
The home features extensive recent upgrades including new flooring, kitchen appliances, recessed lighting, and fresh paint, providing a move-in-ready experience for buyers.
The open-concept layout is complemented by a bright sunroom and a large back patio deck, creating flexible areas for a home office, studio, or indoor-outdoor entertaining.
A significant price reduction from the original $1.2M list price indicates the property may have faced initial challenges with market alignment or appraisal expectations.
While the home is aesthetically renovated, the 1960s construction may still possess original underlying systems that could require future capital expenditure for maintenance.
