Flexible Lower Level with ADU Potential: The lower level offers a versatile space with a bedroom, office/bonus room, wet bar, and full bath, explicitly noted for its potential as an in-law unit, au pair suite, or Junior ADU, enhancing income potential or multi-generational living.

Cons

Compact Lot Size: The lot size of 1450 sqft is relatively small for a single-family home, which may limit outdoor living space or appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1929, despite extensive modern upgrades, the property's age might still present concerns for some buyers regarding the original infrastructure or potential for unforeseen issues inherent in older homes.
Proximity to Lower-Rated Schools: While some schools are well-rated, the immediate vicinity includes several public schools with lower ratings, which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing access to top-tier public education.
