Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1955, benefits from several significant recent updates including a newly installed roof (11/2024), updated plumbing, dual-pane windows, new exterior paint, and modern HVAC. The interior features updated vinyl floors (though some areas show dated tile), recessed lighting, and crown molding. However, the kitchen, while functional with a newer stainless steel range, has dated tile countertops and older cabinets. The bathroom also features a very dated tile style. These key areas, along with the discrepancy in the official room count and the unpermitted garage conversion, indicate that while the home is well-maintained and has many updated systems, it requires minor cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
Development & Income Potential: The property is zoned LA2 with a large backyard, offering significant potential for a room addition, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or even a 2-unit building, which can enhance future value and provide income opportunities.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Key components have been recently updated, including a newly installed roof (11/2024), upgraded dual-pane windows for improved insulation and noise reduction, updated plumbing (copper and PVC), and a newly painted exterior, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Modernized Interior & Comfort: The interior boasts updated vinyl floors, recessed ceiling lights, crown molding, and forced air conditioning & heating, providing a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and move-in ready living environment.
Generous Parking & Outdoor Space: A long driveway capable of fitting 4-6 cars addresses a common urban challenge, complemented by a large, serene backyard featuring fruit-bearing trees (apple and lemon), offering ample outdoor living space.
Appliance Inclusions: The sale includes essential appliances such as a built-in dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, washer, and dryer, providing added value and convenience for the new homeowner.

Cons

Discrepancy in Official Room Count: The property is advertised as 4 beds/2 baths, but the title records indicate 2 beds/2 baths. This significant discrepancy could lead to complications with appraisal, financing, and legal compliance, potentially delaying or jeopardizing a sale.
Unpermitted Garage Alteration: The garage was previously converted and subsequently 'lender required to be disassembled.' While currently used as a gym and laundry room, it is not a legal garage for parking, which may impact property value and could require further investment to legalize or revert.
Age-Related System Concerns: Built in 1955, despite numerous updates, the property may still have original components or systems (e.g., electrical panel, foundation) that were not explicitly mentioned as updated, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs typical of older homes.
