Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property is significantly outdated and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen appears to have original or very old cabinetry and lacks modern appliances. The bathroom is in poor condition with a dated vanity, shower enclosure, and visible damage/removal of flooring, indicating immediate and extensive renovation is needed. Throughout the home, there is worn carpet, popcorn ceilings, and older fixtures, all contributing to a condition that is far from move-in ready and would be uncomfortable without major updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Lot Size & Development Potential: The expansive 46,200 sqft lot offers substantial space for personal use (e.g., ranch style) or potential subdivision and new construction, providing significant future value.
Desirable Views: The property boasts attractive City Lights, Mountain(s), and Neighborhood views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential resale value.
Functional Workshop Space: The inclusion of a dedicated workshop area adjacent to the garage adds practical utility for hobbies, storage, or home-based businesses.
Established Home with Character: As a 'Good Ole Fashion' home built in 1954, it offers a sense of history and character, appealing to buyers looking for a property with potential for personalized renovation.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $599,000 to $549,000 indicates increased motivation from the seller and potential for a more competitive offer.
Cons
Requires Significant Renovation (TLC): The description explicitly states the home 'Needs some TLC,' indicating that buyers should anticipate considerable investment in repairs, updates, and modernization.
Age-Related Maintenance & Updates: Built in 1954, the property is likely to have original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes that may require immediate or near-future replacement and upgrades, incurring additional costs.
Discrepancy with Estimated Value: The current listing price of $549,000 is significantly higher (26% above) the estimated property value of approximately $401,077, which could deter potential buyers or impact financing.
