Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1954, this property is 70 years old. While it benefits from 'Newer Central A/C' and 'Newer Durable luxury vinyl Plank Style floors,' the kitchen features 'Country style Wood cabinets' and 'Granite kitchen counters' that, along with the 'ceramic tile floors' and 'classic Bathroom,' appear dated. Appliances are older white models. The living room has a very dated mirrored wall and popcorn ceilings are present throughout. The description explicitly states it 'still needs some TLC to Customize' and encourages buyers to 'Bring your paint, tools, creativity.' This indicates it's functional but requires significant cosmetic updates and personalization, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, and requiring minor updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Workshop/ADU Potential: The property features a large attached workshop with significant potential for conversion into an ADU, home business space, studio, or additional living area, offering substantial value and flexibility.
Recent Key Upgrades: Includes newer central A/C and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, reducing immediate maintenance costs and enhancing comfort for the new owner.
Updated Kitchen & Bathroom Finishes: The kitchen boasts custom country-style wood cabinets and granite counters, while the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom feature ceramic tile floors, providing updated aesthetics in key areas.
Seller Open to FHA Terms: The seller's willingness to consider FHA terms expands the buyer pool, making the property accessible to a wider range of qualified purchasers.
Additional Functional Spaces: Features a spacious enclosed lanai and a converted single-car garage with extra storage, providing valuable bonus areas beyond the main living square footage.
Cons
Requires Further Investment/TLC: The property explicitly states it 'still needs some TLC to Customize' and requires 'paint, tools, creativity,' indicating additional time and financial investment for the buyer to fully modernize or personalize.
Single Bathroom Configuration: With only one full bathroom for three bedrooms, the property may present functional limitations for larger families or multiple occupants.
Age of Property: Built in 1954, despite some updates, the underlying structure and potentially other systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical not explicitly mentioned as updated) may be original, suggesting potential for future maintenance or upgrades.
