Condition Rating
Poor
The main house, built in 1962, is explicitly stated to 'need work in the kitchen,' which for a home of this age typically implies substantial repairs and rehabilitation rather than minor updates. Interior images of the main house show dated tile flooring, basic light fixtures, and an overall aesthetic that has not been significantly updated in many decades. While the detached ADU features more modern finishes like granite countertops and a marble shower, the condition of the primary residence's kitchen and general datedness pulls the overall property score down. The property is not unsafe or a tear-down, but the main living space requires significant investment to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unique Natural Setting: The property boasts a rare and picturesque natural environment, featuring big boulders, a canopy of oak trees, and a natural waterfall with a creek running through it, offering a serene country feel.
Income-Generating Potential (ADU): Includes a detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU with modern finishes like granite countertops, a marble shower, beamed ceilings, and a skylight, providing significant rental income potential or multi-generational living options.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with electric solar panels that will be fully paid off prior to closing, offering substantial long-term energy cost savings for the homeowner.
Strategic Location: Offers the best of both worlds: a tranquil, secluded country ambiance while being just minutes away from shopping and the convenience of the valley.
Independent Climate Control: Both the main house and the ADU feature separate heating and air systems, enhancing comfort and energy management for occupants of each unit.
Cons
Main House Condition: The main house, a cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit, requires significant work in the kitchen, indicating a need for immediate renovation investment.
Small Main House Footprint: With only 731 sqft for the main house, its small size may limit appeal to buyers seeking more living space or accommodating larger families.
Age of Property: Built in 1962, the main house may have older systems and infrastructure that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite the ADU's newer features.
