Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1954, has received recent updates including new luxury vinyl laminate flooring throughout and a remodeled bathroom. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with original-style wood cabinets, old laminate countertops, and an older white range, indicating it has not been part of a recent renovation. While the home is maintained and livable, the dated kitchen and the age of the property (suggesting other systems may be older) mean it requires further updates to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10080, living area = 970.

ADU Development Potential: The spacious 0.23-acre lot with convenient backyard access presents a significant opportunity for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enhancing property value and utility.

Generous Lot Size: A substantial 10,080 sqft (0.23-acre) lot offers ample outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or future expansion.

Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The presence of only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home may pose practical challenges for families or multiple residents.
Age of Property: Built in 1954, the home's age suggests potential for older systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing) that may require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as completed.
Compact Interior Space: With 970 square feet, the interior living area is relatively modest for a three-bedroom layout, which could be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living spaces.
