Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1914, has received recent cosmetic updates including new laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a functional kitchen with white shaker cabinets and a stainless steel refrigerator. However, the property's age suggests underlying older systems (e.g., wall heaters, likely original plumbing/electrical). Crucially, the listing explicitly states extensive unpermitted work, including a wall, two bathrooms, and an entire in-law unit. This, combined with only one permitted bathroom for three bedrooms, represents significant functional and legal deficiencies that require substantial attention beyond minor updates, preventing a 'Good' score. While cosmetically refreshed, the unpermitted status and age of major systems place it in the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Spacious Outdoor Living: The property boasts a large backyard, a valuable amenity for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining in an urban environment.
Recent Property Updates: Benefits from recent updates, reducing immediate renovation needs for a new owner.
Enhanced Curb Appeal Planned: The front driveway is scheduled for a concrete upgrade, promising improved aesthetics and first impressions.
Income/Flexibility Potential: Features a downstairs in-law unit (1BR, living room, bath) offering potential for rental income or multi-generational living, despite its unpermitted status.
Proximity to Top-Rated Schools: Located near several highly-rated public schools, including Lowell High School (10/10) and Lilienthal Elementary (9/10), appealing to families.
Cons
Extensive Unpermitted Work: Multiple unpermitted modifications, including a wall, two bathrooms, and an entire in-law unit, pose substantial legal and financial risks for the buyer.
