Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1907, this property has undergone extensive recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The interior features new grey laminate flooring, fresh paint, modern recessed lighting, and contemporary ceiling fans. The kitchen boasts new white shaker cabinets, modern dark countertops, a stylish mosaic backsplash, and a new dishwasher, though the gas range appears more basic. Bathrooms have updated vanities, toilets, and modern tiling, but one bathroom retains an older-style tub. The property also benefits from modern wall-mounted air conditioning units. While not every component is brand new (e.g., the tub, some appliances), the overall condition reflects a significant and recent update, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.

ADU Potential: The property offers the significant advantage of being eligible for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing potential for additional income or expanded living space.

Cons
Historic Age: Built in 1907, the property is over a century old, which may imply potential for deferred maintenance, outdated systems, or the need for significant renovations.
Overpriced Relative to Estimate: The current listing price of $650,000 is higher than the estimated property value of $632,309, potentially making it less competitive in the market.
