More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: The main house was built in 1952, indicating older infrastructure. While the exterior appears well-maintained with updated stucco, windows, and roof, and the description mentions 'considerable upgrades' for the main house and a 'recently remodeled' ADU, there are no interior images available. Without visual confirmation of the condition, style, and features of the main house's kitchen and bathrooms, or other key interior components, it is difficult to assess the recency and extent of these upgrades. Therefore, assuming the main house's interior may require minor updates or show signs of being outdated, a 'Fair' score is assigned. The recently remodeled ADU is a strong positive, but the overall property score must account for the unknown interior condition of the primary residence.

Cons
Age of Main Structure: The main house, built in 1952, is over 70 years old, potentially indicating older infrastructure and systems that may require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $1,589,000 is approximately 3% higher than the estimated property value of $1,536,426, suggesting it may be priced above current market expectations.
