Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Remodel: The property underwent a complete remodel in 2020, offering modern finishes and an updated living experience.
Large Lot Size: Boasting a substantial 11,512 sqft lot, the property provides ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for expansion.
ADU Potential: The description explicitly highlights the potential for adding another Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering future income generation or multi-generational living options.
City Lights View: The property features desirable city lights views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential resale value.
Open Layout & Large Kitchen: Enjoy a bright open layout with a large living room, family room, and a spacious kitchen, ideal for modern living and entertaining.
Cons
Unpermitted Additions: A significant portion of the property (2 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms) is noted as being 'without permitted,' posing potential legal and financial risks for the buyer.
Discrepancy in Bed/Bath Count: There's a notable discrepancy between the MLS listed 3 beds/2 baths and the description claiming 5 beds/5.5 baths, further complicated by the unpermitted status of the additional rooms.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price of $1.65M is approximately 7% higher than the estimated property value of $1.52M, suggesting it may be priced above current market expectations.
