Condition Rating
Good

This property presents a mixed condition, leaning towards good due to significant recent renovations in the two additional studios. The studios feature modern kitchens with gray shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms with contemporary vanities and tiling, appearing to be extensively renovated within the last 5 years. The main house's primary bedroom also shows modern updates with a slat accent wall and updated flooring, and the primary bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. However, the main house's primary kitchen, with its white tile countertops, older white cabinets, and dated backsplash, is functional but clearly shows its age (likely 20-30 years old) and would benefit from a modern update. Other areas of the main house have a mix of hardwood, older tile, and laminate flooring, and some light fixtures (like the living room chandelier) are not contemporary. Overall, the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems, but the main house's kitchen prevents an 'Excellent' rating, while the high-quality, recent renovations in the studios elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income/Multi-Generational Potential: The property features two fully equipped, separate studio units (a converted garage and a backyard unit), offering significant flexibility for rental income, multi-generational living, or dedicated home office spaces.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: Both the main residence and the accessory units boast significant renovations, including custom cabinetry, updated flooring (tile/hardwood), modern kitchen appliances, and a luxurious primary bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and double sinks.
Spacious & Functional Layout: The main home provides generous living areas, including a large living room with unique cantilevered windows, a spacious family room kitchen with an island, and a welcoming entry foyer, designed for comfortable living and entertaining.
Enhanced Comfort & Features: Specific amenities such as a skylight, a gas fireplace, sound insulation in the garage studio, and an Air Spot Energy Recovery Ventilator contribute to the property's overall appeal and potential energy efficiency.
Desirable School Proximity: The property is located within close proximity (under 1 mile) to well-rated elementary, middle, and high schools (Reed Elementary, John Muir Middle, Pioneer High), enhancing its appeal for families.

Cons

Extensive Price Reduction History: The property has undergone multiple substantial price reductions from its original listing of nearly $2 million, which may indicate initial overpricing or challenges in establishing its market value.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1969, the main house is over 50 years old. While cosmetic updates are evident, potential buyers may have concerns regarding the condition or age of major underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) if not explicitly updated.
Permitting Status of Accessory Units: The description highlights two converted studios. Without explicit confirmation of proper permitting for these conversions as legal dwelling units, there could be potential risks related to zoning compliance, financing, insurance, or future resale value.
