This Vintage Split-Level Residence represents a significant Value-Add Asset with a List Price of $888,888. While the price exceeds the $670,428 Fair Market Value estimation, this is attributed to a notable Living Area Discrepancy in public records. The property carries a Condition Rating of 5, requiring substantial rehabilitation of its original 1965 finishes. Featuring a vaulted ceiling, distant water views, and a flat backyard near Rodeo Hills Elementary, it offers immense potential for forced appreciation. This is an ideal acquisition for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors.

Built in 1965, this property exhibits significant vintage charm, which translates to very dated conditions in key areas. The kitchen features original wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances. Bathrooms are highly outdated with original pink sinks, dated fixtures, and even carpet in the primary bath. Throughout the home, flooring (shag carpet, parquet) and light fixtures are also original or very old. While described as 'well-kept,' the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to its interior finishes and major systems (e.g., lack of central AC) to meet contemporary standards.
