Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1927, the property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, as stated in the description ('beautifully updated home,' 'brand new flooring,' 'modern dual-pane windows,' 'fully renovated kitchen'). The images confirm a modern aesthetic with new marble-patterned tile and light grey laminate flooring, contemporary grey shaker cabinets, white countertops, a stylish mosaic backsplash, and a modern range hood in the kitchen. Recessed lighting and fresh paint throughout contribute to a virtually new interior feel. While no bathroom images were provided, the comprehensive nature of the other updates strongly suggests they are also in excellent, move-in ready condition. The property meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance in the renovated areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Upgrades: The home is beautifully updated with brand new flooring, modern dual-pane windows for energy efficiency, and a fully renovated kitchen, making it move-in ready.
Strong Value Proposition: The property is currently listed at $499,000, a significant reduction from its original list price of $599,000, and is 16% below its estimated market value of $579,869.05.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with modern dual-pane windows, the home offers improved energy efficiency, potentially leading to lower utility costs for the owner.
Investment Potential: The description explicitly highlights 'passive income potential' and positions the property as a 'smart investment,' appealing to investors or buyers seeking rental opportunities.
Excellent Elementary School Proximity: Peres Elementary School, rated 3, is conveniently located just 0.18 miles away, offering a significant advantage for families with young children.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1927, the property is an older home. While updated, potential buyers may have concerns about underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Smaller Lot Size: The 4,000 sq. ft. lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, which could limit outdoor living space, gardening potential, or future expansion opportunities.
Mixed School Performance: While an elementary school is close, the presence of multiple low-rated middle schools (Lovonya Dejean and Helms, both rated 1) and a low-rated high school (Kennedy High, rated 2) in the vicinity could be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
