Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1955, this property has undergone significant and recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, and updated stainless steel/black appliances. The bathroom is also updated with subway tile in the shower and a contemporary vanity. Key modern features like paid-off solar, EV charging hookups, and an energy-efficient mini-split system indicate substantial investment in upgrades. The slate/stone tile flooring is durable and well-maintained. While not a brand-new build, the extensive renovations bring its condition firmly into the 'good' category, with no immediate renovation required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Lot & Privacy: The property boasts an over half-acre lot, positioned at the end of the street, providing exceptional privacy and ample outdoor space.
Panoramic Views: Enjoy stunning panoramic city lights and mountain views, accessible from the property and a wrap-around deck, enhancing lifestyle and appeal.
Sustainable & Energy-Efficient Features: Equipped with paid-off solar panels, EV charging hookups, and an energy-efficient mini-split unit, offering significant utility savings and modern conveniences.
Detached Bonus Structure: A separate bonus structure provides versatile space ideal for a workshop, storage, or potential for future expansion or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Ample Parking & Vehicle Storage: An extended driveway offers generous parking capacity for multiple vehicles, recreational toys, or an RV, a valuable asset for many buyers.
Cons
Limited Living Space: The main residence is a compact 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home with only 500 square feet, which may limit its appeal to a broad buyer demographic.
Older Construction: Built in 1955, the property's age may necessitate updates to systems or aesthetics to align with contemporary buyer preferences and standards.
High Price-to-Square-Foot Ratio: The list price of $649,900 for a 500 sqft home, despite the large lot and amenities, results in a high price per square foot that could be a barrier for some buyers.
