Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1971, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features a renovated kitchen with newer cabinets and new stainless steel appliances, fresh interior paint, and a clean exterior. Although some elements like the bathroom and carpeted floors (with hardwood underneath) are dated, the overall condition meets the functional and well-maintained criteria for this category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7841, living area = 1000.
- Prime Location & Growth Potential
Situated in the high-growth Charlotte Park area and just one street from The Nations, the property offers excellent walkability to trendy eateries, retail, and coffee shops.
- Value-Add Character
The home features a desirable mid-century layout with original hardwood floors preserved under the carpet, offering significant equity-building potential through cosmetic updates.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Limited Bathroom Count
With three bedrooms and only one bathroom, the layout may be a challenge for families and could impact future resale value compared to multi-bath homes.
- Underperforming School Ratings
The assigned public schools carry lower ratings, ranging from 2 to 4, which may be a deterrent for education-focused buyers.
