More Insights

Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1950 and owned by the same family for over 50 years, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While the kitchen has some updated stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, the cabinets and backsplash are dated (likely 15-25 years old). The most significant functional defect is the bathroom, explicitly noted as having a 'special sit-down tub NO SHOWER,' which necessitates a major renovation for modern living. Original hardwood floors need sanding and buffing, and the property generally requires extensive cosmetic updates, indicating a need for significant investment beyond minor repairs.

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 = 7236, living area = 917.
Prime Location: The property boasts an excellent location, directly across from Walnut Grove Intermediate School, near Walmerado Park, Haven City Market, and offers unparalleled convenience to freeways, stores, malls, and restaurants.
Significant Development Potential: Situated on a spacious 7,200+ sq ft corner lot, the property offers strong potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or an SB9 lot split, providing future value-add opportunities.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with solar panels, the home offers reduced energy costs and a more sustainable living option, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
Garage Conversion Potential: The attached garage includes central air and direct home access, presenting a clear opportunity to convert it into a third bedroom or additional living space, increasing the home's functional square footage.
Restorable Original Features: The presence of original hardwood floors, though needing sanding and buffing, offers a desirable feature that can be restored to add character and value to the home.

Cons

Outdated Bathroom Configuration: The single bathroom features a 'special sit-down tub' with no shower, which is a significant functional drawback and will likely necessitate immediate renovation for most prospective buyers.
Requires Extensive Updates: The description explicitly states the home needs a 'paint brush and some paint' and the original hardwood floors need 'sand and buff,' indicating the property is largely in original condition and requires substantial cosmetic and potentially functional upgrades.
Small Square Footage & Pricing Discrepancy: At 917 sq ft, the home is relatively small for a single-family residence. Furthermore, the current list price of $728,000 is 15% higher than the estimated value of $616,434, suggesting it may be overpriced for its size and condition.
