Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, the home features a kitchen and bathrooms that appear to be from a renovation older than 20 years, characterized by dated oak cabinetry and tile countertops. While the systems like central forced air are functional and the exterior shows maintenance (paver patio, newer roof), the interior finishes are significantly dated and require cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- 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 = 7100, living area = 1387.
- Entertaining & Low-Maintenance Yard
The property features an oversized backyard ideal for entertaining and a front 'ECO LAWN' designed for minimal watering and mowing, offering both lifestyle and sustainability benefits.
- Modern Open-Concept Layout
The kitchen's open-concept design connects seamlessly to the living and dining areas, as well as the backyard, creating a spacious and functional flow that is highly desirable for modern living.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Living Spaces
The absence of a formal dining room or a separate family room may be a drawback for buyers seeking dedicated spaces for formal gatherings or multi-generational living.
- Garage-Based Laundry
Laundry facilities are located in the garage rather than an interior utility room, which can be a convenience disadvantage for some homeowners.
