More Insights
Built in 1905 (121 years old).
Condition: Built in 1905, this property shows a mix of partial updates and significant wear. While the kitchens in both the main house and ADU have newer stainless steel appliances and updated cabinetry, the main house kitchen's backsplash is somewhat dated, and the bathrooms are functional but basic, with some older elements. Flooring is inconsistent (hardwood, laminate, tile) and many rooms in the main house exhibit visible wear, incomplete paint jobs, or very specific aesthetic choices that would require refreshing. The property is livable and has potential, especially with the ADU, but the main residence requires minor updates and repairs to bring it to a more consistent and modern standard, aligning with the 'fair' category.

Cons
Significant Data Discrepancy: Inconsistent information regarding the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and total square footage between the description (5 beds, 2.5 baths total) and structured data (2 beds, 1 bath, 1008 sqft), which requires immediate clarification and could impact financing, legality of units, and perceived value.
Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: Built in 1905, the property likely requires updates to plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs and energy inefficiency.
Undefined MLS Area: The '699 - Not Defined' MLS area code suggests a lack of specific neighborhood categorization, which could hinder targeted buyer searches and comparative market analysis.
