Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1954, shows a mix of updates and outdated features. While the main house kitchen has been updated with modern cabinets, a stylish backsplash, and a stainless steel dishwasher, the primary bathroom is clearly dated with an older vanity, countertop, and tile. Flooring is a mix of hardwood and newer wood-look laminate/vinyl plank. A significant factor is the lack of explicit mention of central HVAC, which, combined with the age of the structure, suggests older systems may be in place or require upgrades. The property is functional and maintained, but the dated bathroom and potential HVAC needs indicate it requires minor updates to meet current standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

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 = 10454, living area = 1240.
Income Generating ADU: The property includes a detached 1BD/1BA ADU, delivered vacant and with potential for short-term rental (STR-ADU compliant), offering immediate income opportunities or multi-generational living.
Unique Lifestyle Amenities: Beyond the residences, the property features a private sauna, a low-maintenance deck, and a two-story barn shed, significantly enhancing lifestyle and functional space.
Versatile Living Arrangements: Marketed as an 'income compound' with 'infinite possibilities,' it allows for flexible use such as owner-occupancy with rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated guest suite.
Charming Main Residence Features: The main 3BD/1BA home boasts appealing interior features including wood flooring, an open-concept layout, a wood-burning fireplace, and a kitchen with a stylish backsplash, contributing to warmth and modern comfort.
Spacious Lot Size: Positioned on a generous .24-acre lot (10,454 sq ft), providing ample outdoor space for privacy, recreation, and the existing amenities.

Cons

Limited Bathrooms in Main Residence: The main 3-bedroom house features only one bathroom, which may be insufficient for larger families or multiple occupants, potentially leading to inconvenience.
Age of Main Structure: Built in 1954, the primary residence is 70 years old, which could imply older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) or require more frequent maintenance compared to newer constructions, despite some interior updates.
Lack of Mentioned Central HVAC: The description highlights a wood-burning fireplace but does not explicitly state the presence of central air conditioning or heating, which could be a significant drawback in Carmichael's climate.
