Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Despite being built in 1912, the property is in move-in ready condition with significant modern upgrades. The kitchen has been remodeled with high-end finishes and stainless steel appliances, and the primary bathroom has been updated. The interior features well-maintained hardwood flooring, classic coffered ceilings, and updated light fixtures. While the home retains its historic charm, the major living areas meet modern standards of quality. It falls into the 'good' category rather than 'excellent' because it is a century-old structure with some original infrastructure rather than a total recent gut renovation or new build.

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 = 71002, living area = 3671.

  • Significant Development Potential

    The 1.63-acre lot offers a rare opportunity for a lot split into two parcels (1.0 and 0.63 acres), providing massive value-add potential for developers or those seeking to build a second residence.

  • Expansive Estate Amenities

    The property features a comprehensive luxury lifestyle package rarely found in the area, including a tennis court, swimming pool, detached 3-car garage, and sprawling park-like grounds.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Century-Old Infrastructure

    Despite modern cosmetic updates, the 1912 construction date suggests potential underlying challenges with aging structural, electrical, or plumbing systems common in homes of this era.

  • Entitlement Uncertainty

    The lot split is currently 'in process,' meaning the final approval and timeline are subject to municipal discretion, which may pose a risk to buyers relying on immediate development.
