More Insights

Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1958, the property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end Gaggenau appliances, and contemporary fixtures. Both bathrooms are fully updated with stylish vanities, modern tiling, new fixtures (including gold accents), and frameless glass showers. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and move-in ready with no visible deferred maintenance. The presence of solar panels and modern outdoor amenities further supports a recent, comprehensive update.

Abundant Natural Light: Described as a 'light-filled retreat' with large west-facing windows and skylights, the home benefits from ample natural light throughout, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1956, other record living area = 1442.
Older Construction Year: Built in 1958, while the kitchen is updated, other systems or areas of the home may reflect its age, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades beyond what is explicitly mentioned.
ADU Potential Requires Verification: The mention of ADU potential comes with a 'buyer to verify' clause, indicating that it is not a pre-approved or ready-to-use ADU and may involve additional costs, permits, and effort for conversion.
No Explicit Cooling System Mentioned: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a drawback during warmer months, especially with west-facing windows.
