Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1954, is 70 years old. While it benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as new laminate flooring and fresh paint, and the kitchen and bathroom feature updated cabinets and countertops, these renovations appear to be surface-level. The kitchen notably lacks appliances, and the light fixtures are basic. There is no information provided regarding updates to major systems like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, which are likely original or very old given the property's age. The home is clean and move-in ready cosmetically, but the underlying infrastructure is aged, aligning with the 'fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Conversion Potential: The permitted 400 sqft garage presents a significant opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering potential rental income or additional living space.
Move-in Ready Condition: The home has been recently painted and features new laminate flooring in the living room and bedrooms, making it immediately habitable and reducing initial buyer expenses.
Ample Off-Street Parking: The property offers parking space for up to four cars, a valuable amenity in urban areas where parking can often be limited.
Enhanced Curb Appeal: The presence of 'very nice landscaping' contributes to a positive first impression and an attractive outdoor environment.
Functional Outdoor Space: The property boasts 'plenty of space for family entertaining,' suggesting a usable and enjoyable outdoor area for residents.
Cons
Compact Living Area: With 1070 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the home offers relatively limited interior living space, which may not suit larger households or those desiring more room.
Age of Construction: Built in 1954, the property is 70 years old. While cosmetic updates are noted, potential buyers may have concerns regarding the condition of major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Lack of Premium Views: The property description explicitly states 'view: None,' indicating the absence of desirable scenic views that could enhance its value or appeal.
