Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1942 but features a kitchen renovation (granite countertops and wood cabinetry) and flooring updates likely within the 5-15 year range. The home is well-maintained and move-in ready with freshly painted interiors and new sod, though it retains one vintage bathroom with original 1940s tile.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Neighborhood Charm & Curb Appeal
Situated on a picturesque Jacaranda-lined street in the historic Wrigley neighborhood, this 1942 California cottage offers exceptional curb appeal and timeless character.
- Development Potential
The generous 6,519 sqft lot features a detached two-car garage and an extended driveway, providing a significant opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to add value or rental income.
- Turnkey Interior with Vintage Detail
The home seamlessly blends modern updates like granite countertops and new flooring with beautifully preserved 1940s elements, including a unique vintage red-tile bathroom.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Local School Ratings
While elementary options are nearby, the assigned high school has a lower rating (3/10), which may be a concern for families prioritizing long-term educational performance.
- Market Stagnation
With 49 days on the market at the current list price, the property may be facing resistance regarding its price-per-square-foot relative to the 1,333 sqft of living space.
