Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, this home is well-maintained but significantly dated. While it features newer stainless steel appliances and intact hardwood floors, the kitchen and bathrooms show renovations or original features that are likely over 20-30 years old, including vintage pink tiling, dated cabinetry, and linoleum flooring. The presence of a wall heater and wood-burning stove suggests older mechanical systems that may need updating to meet modern efficiency standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Proximity to Lodi Lake
The property is ideally located just minutes from Lodi Lake, providing exceptional access to outdoor recreation, nature trails, and water activities.
- Classic Architectural Character
Built in 1948, the home features timeless charm including original hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace, offering a warm aesthetic often missing in modern builds.
- Generous Living Space

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.
- Potential for Modernization
The interior may require cosmetic updates or renovations to align the 1940s-era styling with contemporary buyer preferences and modern standards.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Given the home's age, buyers should consider the potential need for upgrades to older mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems to ensure long-term efficiency.
