Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1951, has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new-looking laminate and carpet flooring, and a 'custom remodeled' kitchen and bathroom as per the description. The kitchen features updated cabinets, countertops, and pendant lighting, appearing functional and aesthetically pleasing. However, the visible wall-mounted gas heater indicates an outdated heating system and a lack of central HVAC, which is a significant drawback. While move-in ready due to recent cosmetic work, the age of the structure and the outdated major systems prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating, aligning more with 'Fair' where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Move-in Ready Condition: The property is explicitly stated as 'move in ready', indicating recent preparations like fresh paint and janitorial cleaning, reducing immediate buyer effort.
Recent Renovations: Both the kitchen and bathroom have been custom remodeled, offering modern and updated essential living spaces.
Attractive Pricing: The property is 'priced to sell' and listed below its estimated market value, suggesting a good investment opportunity.
Spacious Rooms: The description highlights that the rooms are spacious, enhancing comfort and perceived value despite the overall square footage.
Desirable View: The property offers a 'City Lights' view, which is a sought-after amenity that adds to its appeal.
Cons
Active Under Contract Status: The property is currently 'Active Under Contract', meaning it is not readily available for new offers, which limits immediate buyer opportunities.
Older Construction: Built in 1951, the property is over 70 years old. While renovated, potential buyers may have concerns about the age of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Limited Square Footage: With 840 square feet, the living space is relatively small for a 2-bedroom home, which might not appeal to all buyer segments, particularly larger families.
