Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1935, is well-maintained for its age with newer flooring and interior paint in the main house. However, the main house kitchen features older white appliances and dated tile, and the bathroom, while clean, has very dated fixtures (clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, basic lighting). While functional and move-in ready, these elements suggest updates that are likely 15-30 years old, fitting the 'aged but maintained' and 'functional but outdated' criteria for a 'Fair' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Potential: Features a detached rental unit, offering significant income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements, directly offsetting ownership costs.
Updated Main Residence: The main house benefits from an updated kitchen, newer flooring, and fresh interior paint, reducing immediate renovation needs for a new owner.
Charming Architectural Style: Described as a 'charming bungalow,' appealing to buyers seeking character and curb appeal in their home.
Functional Enclosed Porches: Enclosed front and rear porches add versatile living space, enhancing the property's utility and potential usable square footage.
Recent Price Adjustment: A significant price reduction from the original list price makes the property more competitive and attractive to value-conscious buyers.
Cons
Extended Days on Market: The property has been on the market for an unusually long period (313 days), which may suggest challenges with pricing or perceived value.
Compact Lot Size: A lot size of 2,788 sqft is relatively small, potentially limiting outdoor space or future expansion options, especially for a duplex.
Age of Property: Built in 1935, the property's age may imply potential for unseen maintenance or system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical) beyond the cosmetic updates mentioned.
