Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1940, the property has been maintained with some updates like newer windows, fresh paint, and well-kept hardwood floors. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with original-style wood cabinets, older countertops, and an older range, indicating it has not been extensively renovated in decades. While functional, it requires a full renovation to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. The overall condition is aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Bay View: The property boasts desirable bay views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential resale value.
Versatile Floor Plan: Featuring two living rooms (one with a bar), a laundry room, a bonus room, and a primary suite with a private entrance, the home offers significant flexibility for various lifestyles, including potential multi-generational living or a home office setup.
Prime Location: Strategically located between the sought-after Redwood Heights and Dimond districts, with minutes-long access to Redwood Regional Park, shopping, and major freeways, offering convenience and community appeal.
Classic Interior Features: The home retains classic charm with hardwood floors throughout and tiled shower/tub surrounds in the baths, providing a solid foundation and appealing finishes.
Potential for Separate Living Quarters: The primary suite's private entrance and the description noting it 'looks like 2 units' suggest potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or distinct living spaces, adding significant value and income potential.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1940, the property may have original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant updates or maintenance in the near future.
Ambiguous Unit Configuration: The listing explicitly states it 'looks like 2 units although the buyer needs to do their research as it is listed at a single Family,' creating uncertainty regarding legal use, zoning, and potential financing challenges for a multi-unit conversion.
Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 3330 sqft, the property offers limited outdoor space, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard or extensive landscaping opportunities.
