Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The property boasts a newly remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, hardwood floors, newer windows, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and a newer water heater, significantly enhancing its appeal and reducing immediate buyer costs.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as 'move-in ready and beautifully maintained,' this property allows for immediate occupancy without the need for extensive renovations or repairs.
Versatile Bonus Space: A separate bonus room behind the garage offers flexible usage as an office, studio, or even a potential fourth bedroom, adding significant functional value.
Comfort & Security Features: Equipped with central air and heat, and a security system, the home provides essential modern comforts and peace of mind for residents.
Outdoor Entertainment Area: The backyard features a spacious deck, directly accessible from the primary suite, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and outdoor relaxation.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1325, other record living area = 1255. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1950, despite numerous updates, the underlying original structure and some systems may still be older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not covered by recent renovations.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property has a view, it is specified as a 'Neighborhood' view, which is not a premium feature like panoramic city, mountain, or ocean views that could significantly enhance market value.
Mixed School Performance: Although some nearby schools are well-rated, several others, particularly certain middle schools, have lower performance ratings, which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
