Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is new construction or fully renovated.

The interiors feature high-end contemporary finishes such as quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and modern flooring throughout, leaving no deferred maintenance.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Dual-Unit Income Potential

- Extensive Modern Upgrades
Both units are equipped with new HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, copper plumbing, and double-pane windows, ensuring modern comfort and reduced maintenance.
- Energy Efficiency
The back ADU includes fully paid-off solar panels, providing significant long-term energy savings and increasing the property's overall sustainability.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Premium Pricing
With a list price of $1.36M, the property sits at a higher price point for the area, which may limit the pool of qualified buyers despite the ADU value.
- Aged Primary Structure
While beautifully updated, the main residence was originally built in 1949, which may present some legacy structural limitations compared to a full new-build.
- Parking Constraints
With five total bedrooms across two units, the single attached garage and driveway space may be insufficient for households with multiple vehicles.
