Built in 1965, this property benefits from significant recent upgrades including a new roof (2024), central HVAC, solar system, and dual-pane windows, bringing major systems to modern standards. While the kitchen and bathrooms retain a 'vintage mid-century' style with older appliances and fixtures, they are immaculately maintained and functional, not requiring immediate repairs. The home is described as 'turnkey beautiful' and is move-in ready, though cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms would be desired by buyers seeking contemporary aesthetics.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Parking & ADU Potential: The property boasts a large attached garage, a detached 3-bay garage with 10’ ceilings, and parking for 6+ vehicles, offering immense utility for vehicles, hobbies, or potential for 1-2 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
Energy Efficiency & Modern Upgrades: Equipped with a solar system, central HVAC, dual-pane doors and windows, and a new roof installed in 2024, ensuring significant energy savings and reduced maintenance.
Mid-Century Modern Charm & Turnkey Condition: An immaculately maintained Mid-century modern architectural delight, presented in turnkey beautiful condition, blending classic design with contemporary comfort.
Desirable Location & Neighborhood: Located in the 'hidden haven' of Memorial Heights within the Wrigley neighborhood, offering proximity to Cal Hts and Bixby Knolls boutique shops, restaurants, and the Virginia Country Club.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: A true single-level home featuring a gracious indoor-outdoor flow with walls of glass leading to lush, private landscaped grounds, maximizing natural light and living space.

Cons

Vintage Kitchen: The 'vintage mid-century eat-in kitchen' may not appeal to all buyers seeking fully modernized, high-end culinary spaces, potentially requiring future renovation to meet contemporary tastes.
All-Electric System Preference: While energy-efficient, the 'all-electric' nature of the home might not suit buyers who prefer natural gas for cooking, heating, or other appliances.
Absence of Pool/Spa: Despite a very large and private lot, the property does not include a pool or spa, which could be a missed amenity for buyers seeking comprehensive outdoor entertainment features in this climate.
