Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1940, the property is explicitly described as 'ready for updates' and requiring 'substantial investment in renovations and modernization.' The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older granite countertops, and black appliances. The bathroom has a vintage clawfoot tub and pedestal sink, indicating an older style, despite some newer flooring. While some cosmetic updates like laminate flooring are present, the overall condition, age, and the stated need for significant modernization across both residences suggest that major systems are likely very old and require substantial rehabilitation to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
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 = 98881, living area = 2514.
Dual Residences (ADU): The property features two homes on one lot: a main residence (4 beds, 2 baths, 2,514 sq ft) and a separate ADU (1 bed, 1 bath, 532 sq ft), offering significant versatility for multi-generational living, rental income, or a dedicated home office.
Expansive Lot Size: A generous 2.27-acre lot (98,881 sq ft) provides ample outdoor space for gardening, pets, entertaining, and potential for future landscaping or expansion.
Customization Opportunity: Both residences are described as 'ready for updates,' presenting a valuable opportunity for buyers to personalize and modernize the spaces to their specific tastes and lifestyle.
No HOA Fees: The absence of an association fee means lower monthly housing costs and greater freedom for property modifications without HOA restrictions.
Flexible Living Arrangements: The dual home setup is explicitly ideal for multi-generational living, accommodating guests, or establishing a home office, providing significant functional flexibility.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =98881, other record lot size in square feet = 92782.
Age of Property: Built in 1940, the property is 84 years old, which often implies older infrastructure, potential for deferred maintenance, and layouts that may require significant modernization.
Requires Updates/Renovation: The description clearly states both residences are 'ready for updates,' indicating that buyers should anticipate substantial investment in renovations and modernization to meet contemporary standards.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from $875,000 to $825,000 suggests potential market resistance or an initial overestimation of value, which could influence buyer perception and negotiation.
