Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1971, this property is 53 years old and clearly requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The listing description explicitly states the home 'needs upgrades,' and the single exterior image provided shows significant deferred maintenance, including peeling paint, an old window, and an overall neglected appearance. While electrical and plumbing upgrades are mentioned as completed, the visible condition suggests extensive work is still needed throughout the property. Without interior photos, it's highly probable that the kitchen and bathroom are outdated and in need of full renovation, consistent with the property's age and general condition. It is not a tear-down as the description implies it is livable while upgrades are made.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: The property is nestled in one of Royal Oaks' most sought-after neighborhoods, offering strong community appeal and potential for appreciation.
Substantial Lot Size: A generous 13,068 sqft lot provides ample space for expansion, landscaping, and outdoor living opportunities.
ADU Potential: The large lot size explicitly supports the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant income potential or multi-generational living options.
Key Infrastructure Upgrades Completed: Essential electrical and plumbing systems have already been upgraded, reducing immediate major renovation costs and complexities for a buyer.
Scenic Views: The property boasts desirable mountain and neighborhood views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and living experience.
Cons
Small Current Living Space: With only 985 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the existing home is relatively small, which may not suit all buyer needs without expansion.
Requires Additional Upgrades: While plumbing and electrical are done, the description indicates the home still 'needs upgrades,' suggesting significant cosmetic or other functional renovations are necessary.
Occupancy/Access Challenges: The current occupant moving out and the request not to disturb them could complicate showings and delay a buyer's ability to take possession or begin renovations immediately.
