The kitchen and bathroom are extremely outdated with original or very old fixtures, worn surfaces, and no modern amenities, requiring complete gut renovations. The entire home, including flooring, light fixtures, and exterior, shows significant wear, peeling paint, and general disrepair, indicating substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed for all major components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Normal Heights Location: Situated in a desirable, quiet, and walkable Normal Heights neighborhood, offering excellent accessibility between major freeways (I-15 & I-805) and vibrant avenues.
Historic Spanish-Style Charm: An early 20th-century Spanish-style cottage featuring original 1930s details such as the front door, coved beam ceilings, fireplace, and classic tiled tub, preserving unique character.
Expansive Lot with ADU Potential: A generous 6,235 sq./ft. RS-1-7 lot provides ample outdoor space for gatherings, future expansion, or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Significant Renovation Opportunity: Described as a 'major fixer,' this property offers substantial upside potential for investors or buyers eager to customize and add significant value through renovation.
Ample Parking & Detached Garage: Includes a detached one-car garage and extensive off-street tandem parking, providing convenience for multiple vehicles or an RV.

Cons

Major Fixer Condition: The property is explicitly stated as a 'major fixer,' indicating that significant renovation, repairs, and financial investment will be required.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom, the property may not meet the needs or preferences of modern buyers or larger households, potentially necessitating an expansion.
Walk-Through Bonus Room Layout: The second bedroom opens to a walk-through third bonus room, which may compromise privacy and limit its functional use as a dedicated private space.
