Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
While originally built in 1915, the property has undergone extensive renovations and maintenance. The kitchen and bathrooms feature granite countertops and cherry cabinets consistent with a high-quality 10-15 year old renovation. Recent updates include a new roof (2025), exterior paint (2024), and new carpeting, ensuring the home is move-in ready and well-maintained.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income Potential
The fully permitted 2-bedroom lower-level ADU with a private entrance offers significant rental income potential or a flexible space for multigenerational living, helping to offset mortgage costs.
- Extensive Recent Updates
The property features a new roof, exterior paint, and a new fence and patio, blending 1915 Craftsman charm with modern peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance requirements.
- Exceptional Urban Parking
Rare for the Greenwood neighborhood, the property includes a detached two-car garage built in 2012 plus dedicated RV parking, providing ample space for vehicles and storage.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
- Market Stagnation
With 79 days on market and a 'motivated seller' designation, the property has experienced a longer-than-average listing period, which may suggest initial pricing challenges.
- Laundry Configuration
While the main floor is plumbed for a stackable unit, the current shared laundry setup between the primary residence and the ADU may present privacy concerns for some tenants or owners.
