Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1922, this property has been maintained and updated over the years, making it move-in ready. However, the main kitchen and bathroom feature styles and finishes that appear to be 15-25 years old, such as honey oak cabinets, dated countertops, patterned vinyl flooring, and basic light fixtures. While functional, these areas show signs of being outdated and would likely require cosmetic updates for a modern aesthetic. The lower-level kitchenette is also basic. The property is clean and has some newer appliances (refrigerator, washer/dryer, water heater) and an elevator, but the overall condition aligns with a 'Fair' rating due to the age of the primary aesthetic renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Generational Living Potential: The lower level features a separate bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living room, and garage access, along with elevator access, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.
Prime Walkable Location: The property is just steps away from Old Town, the Senior Center, and Fernandez Park, offering excellent walkability to local amenities and recreational areas.
Accessibility Features: The inclusion of elevator access to the lower level significantly enhances accessibility, catering to a wider range of buyers including those with mobility needs.
Desirable Kitchen: The main level boasts 'a kitchen to die for!', suggesting a high-quality, likely updated and attractive culinary space that serves as a central feature.
Convenient Access to Services & Transportation: Proximity to Kaiser Medical Center, Sprouts, schools, and I-80 ensures easy access to essential services, shopping, and major commuting routes.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1922, the property's age may imply potential for ongoing maintenance or updates to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as renovated.
Limited Outdoor Space: Described as having 'just enough yard!' and a lot size of 2,340 sqft, the property offers minimal outdoor area, which may not appeal to buyers seeking larger gardens or extensive entertaining spaces.
Potentially Lower Bedroom Count for Square Footage: With 2 bedrooms for 2036 sqft, some buyers might find the bedroom count low relative to the overall living space, potentially limiting accommodation for larger families or multiple guests.
