Pros & Cons

Pros

Detached Studio with ADU Potential: The property includes a detached guest cottage/studio with a second bathroom, offering versatile use as a home office, guest suite, or potential rental income opportunity (buyer to verify).
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The home is move-in ready with significant recent updates including a new roof, updated wiring, plumbing improvements, forced-air heat, newer hardwood floors, fresh paint, and updated lighting throughout.
Desirable Location & Community: Situated in the 'hidden gem' Upper Dimond neighborhood, offering walkability to local amenities like La Farine, Peet’s, and Farmer Joe’s, easy freeway access, and a strong community feel.
Charming & Functional Interior: A tastefully updated Craftsman bungalow featuring a light-filled living room with a remote gas fireplace, custom built-ins, a cozy den/office, and a kitchen with quartz counters, newer appliances, and a skylight.
Outdoor Living & Parking: Features a pleasant rear deck with hillside views, a sunny, freshly landscaped yard with irrigation and a mature pear tree, plus a carport and long driveway providing ample extra parking.

Cons

Limited Main House Square Footage: The main residence offers a relatively compact 984 square feet of living space, which may be a consideration for buyers desiring more expansive interiors.
No Central Air Conditioning Mentioned: While forced-air heating is present, the property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months.
Detached Studio Rental Verification Required: The potential for the detached studio to be a rental opportunity requires buyer verification, implying additional due diligence and possible costs for official approval or conversion.
