Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1937, the home may require updates to its systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and general maintenance typical of properties of this age, which could incur additional costs.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1320 sq ft of living space, the interior is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom home in this price bracket, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive layouts.
ADU Conversion Uncertainty: While ADU potential is highlighted, the 'buyer to verify' clause indicates that the conversion is not pre-approved or guaranteed, requiring the buyer's due diligence and potential investment in the process.
