Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1939, this property features a highly outdated kitchen with tiled countertops, old cabinets, and basic appliances, along with a very dated bathroom. The interior exhibits old wood paneling and worn vinyl flooring throughout. While functional, the home requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current living standards and comfort expectations, aligning with a renovation timeline of 30-50+ years ago.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Development Potential: The property explicitly offers potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing significant value-add and income-generating opportunities.
Generous Lot with Alley Access: A sizable 7,250 sqft lot with convenient alley access enhances privacy, usability, and future development possibilities.
Valuable Outbuildings: Includes both covered parking and a detached garage, offering ample storage, secure parking, or potential for a workshop.
Flexible Interior Layout: The laundry area can be transformed into a 4th bedroom, providing versatility and increasing the property's functional capacity.
Prime Accessibility: Boasts a convenient location with close proximity to schools, shopping, a hospital, parks, and major transportation links.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The home features only one bathroom for three bedrooms (with potential for four), which may not meet the needs of larger families or modern buyer expectations.
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1939, the home may require significant updates to systems, finishes, and energy efficiency to align with contemporary standards.
Overpriced Listing: The current list price is 22% above the estimated property value, suggesting it may be overvalued and could face challenges in attracting offers at this price point.
