Pros & Cons
Pros
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: The property boasts significant energy upgrades including paid solar panels, a newer roof, and newer windows, leading to reduced utility bills and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Recent & Thoughtful Updates: Extensive interior updates such as newer carpet, updated kitchen cabinets, a modern refrigerator, and a water softener system provide a comfortable, move-in ready experience for buyers.
Expansive & Versatile Backyard: A large 5,662 sqft lot features a spacious backyard, offering a 'blank canvas' for gardening, recreation, pets, or potential future expansion, enhancing outdoor living possibilities.
Convenient Location: Positioned within walking distance to shops and centrally located for easy commuting, the property offers excellent accessibility and convenience for daily errands and travel.
Broad Market Appeal: Described as an ideal 'starter home' for first-time buyers and a 'savvy investment' opportunity, indicating strong appeal across various buyer segments, including potential landlords.
Cons
Compact Interior Footprint: With only 848 sqft of living space, the home is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more expansive rooms or accommodating a growing family.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1952, while many components are updated, the underlying structure and potentially some original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond visible updates) may be older and could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Undeveloped Outdoor Space: The 'blank canvas' backyard, while large, implies a lack of existing landscaping or developed outdoor features, requiring significant investment in time and resources for a buyer to personalize and utilize fully.
