About this home

Possibly Over-Priced:The estimated price is 11% below the list price. We found 3 Cons,7 Pros. Rank: price - $549.0K(1th), sqft - 2596(51th), beds - 5(61th), baths - 3(50th).

Contractor and Flippers special located on a serene cut-de-sac. This property fits the "Golden Rule of Real Estate" - find the most challenging property in a wonderful area. This home is the epitome of "Great Bones!" A once stunning two story and five bedroom/ three bath home home just shy of 2,600 square feet had its former glory decimated by interior water damage. The water damage was entirely remediated and the studs are in place to finish the interior rebuilding. Your tools coupled with your imagination will bring this property back to its prior glory. Beautiful exterior grounds are complete with fruit trees and large pool that needs some TLC. Great opportunity that won't last long at this price.

Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1992, has been extensively damaged by water, leading to a complete interior gutting. As evidenced by the images, the house is stripped down to the studs, lacking any interior finishes, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, or functional electrical/plumbing/HVAC systems. While the water damage has been remediated and the structure is described as having 'great bones' ready for 'rebuilding,' the property is currently uninhabitable and requires a full, comprehensive interior renovation from scratch. The exterior pool also needs 'TLC.' This level of work constitutes substantial rehabilitation, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10454, living area = 2596.
Great Schools: High School: Martin Luther King Jr. High School (9/10).
Prime Location: Situated on a serene cul-de-sac, offering privacy and reduced traffic, which is a highly desirable residential feature.
Strong Foundation & Size: Described as having 'Great Bones' and a substantial 2,596 sqft floor plan with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, indicating excellent potential for a high-value home once renovated.
Desirable Outdoor Features: Features beautiful exterior grounds with mature fruit trees and a large existing pool, enhancing lifestyle appeal once restored.
Excellent School Access: Located within proximity to several highly-rated schools, including Martin Luther King Jr. High (9/10) and Tomas Rivera Elementary (8/10), a significant draw for families.
Significant Investment Potential: Positioned as a 'Contractor and Flippers special' at an attractive price point, offering substantial equity gain for buyers willing to undertake the renovation.

Cons

Major Interior Renovation Needed: The property suffered extensive interior water damage, with only 'studs in place,' requiring a complete and costly interior rebuilding.
Pool Requires Refurbishment: The large pool, while an asset, needs 'TLC,' indicating additional repair and maintenance costs beyond the main house renovation.
Limited Buyer Pool: Due to the extensive work required, the property is primarily suitable for experienced contractors, investors, or highly motivated DIYers, narrowing its market appeal.
