Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1941, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'Contractors Special' and 'diamond in the rough,' indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen is severely outdated with original-style cabinets, tiled countertops, and older appliances, requiring a complete overhaul. While some areas have hardwood floors, the overall condition, age, and lack of apparent major renovations suggest that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely beyond their expected lifespan and will require extensive replacement. It is not a tear-down as it is described as having 'lots of potential' for renovation, but it is far from move-in ready and would be uncomfortable in its current state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Renovation Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'Contractors Special' and 'diamond in the rough' with 'lots of potential,' appealing to investors and buyers looking to customize and add significant value.
Original Hardwood Floors: The presence of original hardwood floors offers a desirable classic feature that can be restored, adding character and value to the home.
Generous Lot Size: Situated on a 'large lot' (4510 sqft), providing ample outdoor space for landscaping, potential expansion, or recreational use.
Classic Architectural Style: Described as a 'cute 1940's split level home,' offering a unique and charming aesthetic that can be preserved or enhanced through renovation.
Proximity to Schools: Conveniently located near Pittsburg Senior High School (0.42 miles) and Marina Vista Elementary School (0.77 miles), a significant advantage for families.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is explicitly a 'Contractors Special' and 'diamond in the rough,' indicating a need for substantial investment in repairs, upgrades, and modernization.
Complex Sale Process: As a 'Court Confirmation Guardianship Sale' with a '10% deposit required' and 'NO FHA' financing, the transaction process is likely to be more complex, lengthy, and restricts the pool of potential buyers.
Age and Condition: Built in 1941, the home is over 80 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and deferred maintenance, which will require significant capital expenditure.
