Condition Rating
Good

This 1920-built bungalow has undergone extensive and significant modern upgrades to its major systems, including a newer roof, electrical, partial foundation replacement, seismic retrofit, Hardie board siding, AC, dual-paned windows, and owned solar. These updates are crucial for a home of this age and align with the 'Good' criteria for major systems being functional and within their expected lifespan. The interior features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the living areas and bedrooms, which are well-maintained. The kitchen, while clean and functional with granite countertops, features a black range and older-style white washer/dryer, along with tile flooring and light fixtures that suggest a renovation that is not brand-new (likely 5-15 years old) but still in good condition. The half-bathroom is basic but clean and functional. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, fitting the 'Good' category perfectly, as it has not undergone a full, recent, high-end renovation of all components, but is far from needing substantial repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive System & Structural Upgrades: The property boasts significant recent upgrades including a newer roof, electrical, partial foundation replacement, seismic retrofit, Hardie board siding, AC, dual-paned windows, and owned solar, ensuring modern comfort and reduced maintenance concerns.
Exceptional Walkability & Local Amenities: Located in a highly desirable area with a 92 Walk Score, offering immediate access to popular restaurants, shops, parks, and public transit, fostering a vibrant community lifestyle.
Charming Period Details with Modern Kitchen: Retains its 1920s bungalow charm with natural light and hardwood floors, complemented by a large, updated kitchen featuring granite countertops and a breakfast nook.
Private Outdoor Living Space: Features a private, meticulously maintained backyard with a covered patio, providing an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining in various weather conditions.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Benefits from owned solar panels and dual-paned windows, contributing to lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint.

Cons

Limited Bathroom Facilities: The property offers 3 bedrooms but only 1.5 bathrooms, which may be insufficient for larger households or those seeking more private bathing options.
Partial Basement for Storage Only: The 'partial basement' is designated solely for storage, indicating a lack of potential for conversion into additional finished living space or a full utility area.
Inconsistent Local School Performance: While some elementary schools are well-rated, several nearby middle and high schools have lower performance ratings, which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
