Built in 1920, this property has received some valuable updates including a newer electrical panel, updated windows, and hardwood floors. The kitchen has been updated with modern plumbing, but features basic white cabinets, laminate countertops, and standard white appliances. The bathroom, however, is significantly outdated with pink tiled walls and floor, requiring a full renovation to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. While major systems are functional and some components are updated, the property shows its age and requires further cosmetic and system updates, particularly in the bathroom, preventing it from being classified as 'Good' or 'Excellent'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Development & Investment Opportunity: Features a double lot with mixed-use zoning (residential and limited commercial) and two water meters, explicitly marketed for development or expansion.
Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Situated in an up-and-coming neighborhood with excellent access to public transportation, major freeways, UC Davis Medical Center, Midtown, and the thriving Triangle District, plus daily amenities within one block.
Significant System Updates: Benefits from a newer/upgraded electrical panel, updated windows, and an updated kitchen with modern plumbing, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a historic home.
Generous Outdoor Space & Potential: The spacious double lot offers ample yard space, a newer concrete patio, garden area, automatic sprinklers, and significant potential for adding onto the existing structure.
Desirable Interior Features: Includes hardwood floors, a separate laundry room, included appliances, a garage for off-street parking, and a walk-in basement for extra storage.

Cons

Compact Living Area: The existing home is relatively small at 961 sqft, which may not meet the space requirements for all potential buyers, despite the large lot and expansion potential.
Historic Property Considerations: Built in 1920, the property's age, while charming, may present ongoing maintenance challenges or require further updates beyond those mentioned, such as HVAC, roof, or foundation.
Single Bathroom Configuration: The presence of only one bathroom for a two-bedroom home could be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting market appeal.
