Turnkey & Refurbished: The main home has been 'wonderfully refurbished' and the ADU is new, presenting a move-in ready property that requires minimal immediate investment or renovation.
Future Development Potential: Located on an interior corner lot with alley access, there's potential, subject to city verification, to build an additional home, offering future expansion or income opportunities.
Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent location close to the hospital, shopping centers, and easy access to Highway 101, enhancing its appeal for residents and renters.
Versatile Use Options: This property offers diverse possibilities, catering to multi-generational families, savvy investors, or owner-occupiers looking to generate passive income.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-09-30. The sold price is $780,000.00.
Age of Main Home & Undisclosed System Updates: While refurbished, the main home was built in 1951, and the description does not detail specific updates to core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which could imply potential future maintenance.
Uncertainty of Additional Development: The potential to build another home is explicitly contingent on 'checking with the city,' introducing an element of uncertainty and requiring due diligence from the buyer.
Potential for Limited Private Outdoor Space: With two existing homes on a 7841 sq ft lot and the possibility of a third, private outdoor space for each unit or for recreational use may be constrained.
