Despite its 1924 build year, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing it to an 'excellent' condition. The description explicitly mentions 'modern updates,' an 'updated kitchen' with 'new countertops, designer finishes, and modern appliances,' and updated bathrooms, all of which are visually confirmed by the images showing contemporary styles, white cabinetry, subway tile, and modern fixtures. Crucially, major systems have been addressed with 'dual pane windows, newer roof, dual-zone heat pump, A/C, rewired + retrofitted.' The addition of a 'fully permitted ADU' with 'stylish finishes, kitchenette, and full bath' further solidifies its 'excellent' rating, indicating a property that is virtually new in its functional and aesthetic components, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Detached & Permitted ADU: The property includes a detached and fully permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with vaulted ceilings, stylish finishes, a kitchenette, and a full bath, offering significant versatility for family, guests, or potential rental income.
Extensive Modern Updates: The main house boasts numerous recent updates including an updated kitchen with new countertops and modern appliances, dual pane windows, a newer roof, rewired electrical, retrofitting, a dual-zone heat pump, and A/C, minimizing immediate maintenance for a buyer.
Charming Craftsman Architecture: This beautifully crafted 1924 Craftsman bungalow retains timeless charm with wood floors, built-ins, and period details, seamlessly blending historical character with modern comforts.
Desirable Location & Amenities: Tucked at the end of a peaceful, tree-lined street in the Upper Dimond District, the home offers convenient access to the 580 freeway, Laurel & Dimond District shops, local favorites like Farmer Joe’s, and is zoned for the highly-rated Sequoia Elementary School (5/5).
Thoughtful Outdoor Living & Features: The exterior features colorful plantings, raised veggie beds, a brick patio designed for outdoor enjoyment, two sheds for bonus storage or creative space, and a practical outlet for car charging.

Cons

Flexible 3rd Bedroom Configuration: The main house offers 2 bedrooms plus a 'bonus passthrough room' that functions as a nursery, office, or 3rd bedroom, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking a dedicated, private third bedroom.
Potential for Freeway Noise: While on a peaceful street, the property's proximity to the 580 freeway, as mentioned, could potentially lead to traffic noise, depending on specific location and sound insulation.
Compact Lot Size: With a lot size of 4000 sqft, the property offers a relatively modest outdoor space, which might be a consideration for buyers desiring a larger yard or extensive outdoor activities.
