Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1912, this property shows significant age and wear. The kitchen features highly dated orange cabinets, old countertops, and worn tile flooring, requiring a complete renovation. Bedroom flooring is mismatched and worn, and hardwood floors need refinishing. While livable, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and updates to major components and aesthetics to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

Excellent Accessibility: Offers close proximity to Highway 880, dining, and shopping, providing convenient access to essential services and transportation.
Broad Market Appeal: Presents an excellent opportunity for first-time homebuyers, small families, or investors, indicating a wide potential buyer pool.
Private Outdoor Space: Features a 2,400 Sq. Ft lot with a fenced rear yard, offering valuable private outdoor living and recreational space.
