Condition Rating
Good
This property, built in 1939, has undergone extensive recent cosmetic renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, contemporary countertops, and a stylish black pull-down faucet, though it appears to be missing major appliances. The bathroom is also tastefully updated with a modern vanity, fixtures, and lighting. New laminate flooring and fresh paint are present throughout the main house and the detached ADU. However, the property lacks central HVAC, relying on a wall heater and window AC unit, and the underlying major systems may still be original or older due to the build year, preventing an 'Excellent' rating despite the beautiful cosmetic updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Detached ADU: The property features a detached 445 sq ft Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering exceptional flexibility for rental income, extended family living, or a dedicated home office, significantly enhancing its value and appeal.
Recent Cosmetic Updates: The main home has been beautifully updated with fresh interior and exterior paint, stylish laminate flooring, and modern light fixtures throughout, providing a bright and contemporary, move-in ready feel.
Income Potential: Classified as 'Residential Income' and 'Duplex' with the detached ADU, this property presents a strong opportunity for rental income to offset mortgage costs or for multi-generational living.
First-Time Buyer Appeal: Explicitly marketed as 'perfect for first time buyers,' the updated condition and potential for income make it an attractive and accessible entry into homeownership.
Hills View: The property boasts a desirable 'Hills' view, adding to its aesthetic appeal and potentially increasing its market value.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1309, other record living area = 864.
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-07-01. The sold price is $470,000.00. The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-02-27. The sold price is $351,000.00. The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-02-26. The sold price is $330,000.00.
Age of Property & Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1939, despite cosmetic updates, the property may still have original or older major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or significant investment.
Compact Main Living Space: The main house offers 864 sq ft of living space, which is relatively compact for a 2-bedroom home, potentially limiting space for a growing family or those desiring larger living areas.
Limited Parking Information: The property description does not specify dedicated parking or garage facilities for both the main house and the ADU, which could be a concern for tenants or residents in a multi-unit setup.
