Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1951, this property is an older home. While the exterior appears to have received some updates, such as newer windows and what looks like fresh paint or stucco, there are no interior images provided to assess the condition of the kitchen and bathrooms. The description mentions 'well-maintained' and 'functional layout' but also states it's 'ready for your personal touch,' which strongly suggests that the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are outdated in style and features, likely requiring minor to moderate updates or renovations to meet current standards. Major systems are presumed functional but show signs of age, aligning with the 'Fair' category where components are functional but outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU): The converted garage provides an ADU, offering significant value through potential rental income or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Spacious Backyard: The property boasts a generous backyard, ideal for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or creating a private oasis for relaxation.
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Situated on a quiet street within a well-established neighborhood, offering convenient access to local schools, parks, shopping, and dining.
Strong Curb Appeal & Maintenance: Described as having 'great curb appeal' and being 'well-maintained,' indicating a positive first impression and a property that has been cared for.
Functional Single-Story Layout: The single-story residence features a practical and functional layout complemented by abundant natural light, enhancing daily living comfort.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1951, the home is older and described as 'ready for your personal touch,' suggesting potential for significant updates or renovations to meet modern standards and buyer preferences.
Below-Average School Ratings: The high school (rating 2) and elementary school (rating 3) in the immediate vicinity have low ratings, which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier education.
Compact Living Space: With 1052 sqft for a 3-bedroom home (plus ADU), the overall living space is relatively compact, which might feel restrictive for some buyers, especially if the ADU is included in this square footage.
