Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1940, the property has undergone significant 'modern upgrades' as stated in the description. The visible bathroom features contemporary fixtures, a modern vanity, and a recently updated shower, indicating a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The bedroom also shows updated hardwood flooring and a modern ceiling fan. The overall condition appears move-in ready and well-maintained, aligning with the criteria for a 'Good' score, even without direct images of the kitchen, which is presumed to have received similar updates given the overall presentation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU/JDU Development Ready: Includes fully approved and issued shovel-ready plans for an ADU, JDU, and workshop, offering significant income potential or expanded living space.
Desirable Cul-de-Sac Location: Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within the vibrant City Heights neighborhood, enhancing privacy and community appeal.
Broad Market Appeal: Positioned as an attractive opportunity for both homeowners seeking character and investors looking for value-add potential.
Blended Charm & Modernity: Features classic 1940s character thoughtfully combined with modern upgrades, appealing to a wide range of tastes.
Top-Rated Elementary School Access: Located within a short distance of Marshall Elementary, a highly-rated public school, a strong draw for families.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 936 sqft with 2 bedrooms, the interior living space is relatively compact, which may not suit all buyer needs.
Recent Price Adjustment: A significant price reduction from the original list price could indicate market resistance or initial overvaluation.
Potential for Older Systems: As a 1940-built home, despite modern upgrades, there's a possibility of underlying older systems or components that may require future attention.
