More Insights
Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is move-in ready with fresh paint and clean surfaces. The bathroom appears to have been updated more recently with a newer vanity and tub surround. However, the kitchen features older, basic wood cabinets and white appliances, and the overall systems, such as the wall heater, show their age. The hardwood floors have visible wear and tear. While functional and maintained, the home would benefit from further cosmetic and system updates to modernize it, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

About this home
Generous in size and full of potential, this property offers a rare opportunity to add an additional unit and create future income, multigenerational living, or a private work space. For buyers thinking strategically, the ADU possibilities alone make this one worth a closer look. The home itself is small but mighty. Thoughtfully laid out and easy to live in, it maximizes every square foot with a light filled interior, hardwood floors, and neutral finishes that feel clean, simple, and move in ready. There is no wasted space, just a comfortable and efficient layout that works. This is an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer looking to build wealth over time, or an investor seeking flexibility and upside. A home that delivers today, with the lot and zoning potential to do even more tomorrow.
