Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1890, the home retains classic charm but features a significantly dated kitchen with 1970s-style cabinetry and laminate countertops, indicating a renovation age of 30+ years. While the interior is well-maintained and features original hardwood floors, the presence of floor vents suggests older heating systems, and the overall property requires modernization of its primary systems and wet areas.
Situated in the desirable Pill Hill neighborhood, the property offers excellent walkability to downtown Martinez's vibrant shops, restaurants, and transit options.
This 1890 home features classic architectural details and a flexible 1,551 sqft floor plan with the potential to easily convert the layout into a three-bedroom configuration.
The 6,000 sqft lot includes a private backyard with mature fruit trees and a large detached shed, providing ample space for storage or creative use.
With only one bathroom serving over 1,500 square feet of living space, the layout may be inconvenient for larger households and could impact resale value.
Built in 1890, the home likely requires ongoing maintenance and potential updates to aging systems common in century-old properties to meet modern standards.
