Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1932, the property features a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms that appear to be within the 5-15 year age range. The interior is well-maintained with functional systems, move-in ready hardwood floors, and a converted garage flex space, fitting the criteria for a property that is functional and updated but not brand new.
Situated directly across from Backesto Park, the home offers immediate access to green space, tennis courts, and scenic views, significantly enhancing lifestyle appeal.
The 400-square-foot converted garage features plumbing and water lines, providing a ready-to-use flex space for a home office or a potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
Extensive interior updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with the inclusion of high-end furnishings and electronics, offer significant move-in convenience and immediate value.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1640, other record living area = 1104. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
The assigned public schools carry low ratings (ranging from 2 to 4), which may limit the property's appeal to families prioritizing academic performance.
With over 70 days on the market and multiple price reductions, the property has faced challenges in securing a buyer, potentially signaling initial overpricing or market resistance.
