Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1930, this property's exterior shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance, including faded/peeling paint, visible siding damage, old windows, and an outdated exterior AC unit. The unkempt yard and exposed electrical conduit further indicate a lack of recent upkeep. Without interior photos, it's inferred that the kitchen, bathrooms, and other interior components are either in similar disrepair or require a complete renovation. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria, suggesting major components likely need repair and it would be uncomfortable to live in its current state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Lot Potential & Expansion: The generous 7,127 sqft lot provides significant potential for expansion, adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or creating extensive outdoor living spaces, a rare find in urban areas.
Security & Privacy: Being a gated property offers enhanced security and privacy, a highly desirable feature for homeowners in a bustling urban environment.
Value Proposition: A substantial price reduction from $899,000 to $749,000 indicates a motivated seller and presents a compelling value opportunity for buyers seeking a well-located property.
Convenient Location: Strategically located near major cross streets (VanOwen & Kester) and essential establishments like the DMV, offering excellent accessibility to amenities, services, and transportation.
Historic Charm & Character: Built in 1930, the property likely possesses unique architectural details and character, appealing to buyers who appreciate the charm and history of older homes.
Cons
Limited Interior Space: With only 846 sqft and 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom, the interior living space is quite compact, which may not suit larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Age & Potential for Deferred Maintenance: As a 1930-built home, the property is over 90 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and a likelihood of requiring significant maintenance or modernization investments.
Renovation & Modernization Needs: The property description does not mention recent upgrades, implying that significant renovation and modernization efforts may be necessary to meet contemporary living standards and buyer expectations.
