About the property

Mid‑Century Modern 5BR/3BA Home on Corner Lot in Harvey Park

This mid‑century modern residence at 2281 South Quitman Way is a five‑bedroom, three‑bath home built in 1955 with 2,332 square feet of living space on a 0.17‑acre corner lot. The house retains defining period elements—cathedral ceilings are documented—and sits behind a new cedar privacy fence with a detached two‑car garage and level lot frontage on South Quitman Way. A full basement and brick construction add usable space and durable exterior materials to the property profile.

Public records and listing sources report a broad scope of recent renovations: a new furnace and central air, updated electrical and plumbing, a primary suite addition, three updated bathrooms, new windows, kitchen flooring and drywall, plus exterior painting. Those improvements align with the reported condition of “good” and will reduce near‑term maintenance needs if completed to current standards. The audit notes several required verifications—confirm completion and quality of renovations, roof age and condition, and a professional home inspection—so plan to review permits and inspection reports before relying on the finished‑condition claims.

From a valuation standpoint, the compiled sales comparison analysis places the property’s estimated value between $500,000 and $550,000, with a midpoint estimate of $525,000 ($225/SF). The owner purchased the property in 2020 for $325,000, reflecting notable appreciation in recent years. Assessed value on record for 2025 is $33,940 with annual property taxes of $2,929. Recent neighborhood sales and rental comparables provide context for investment planning: sale comps in the area range roughly from the mid‑$500,000s to low‑$600,000s, and rental estimates center near $2,500/month (about $1.07/SF) with a reported gross rental yield of approximately 5.7%.

Harvey Park’s established character is part of the address appeal: the property is within walking distance of Harvey Park and its lake, trails, tennis courts and recreation center. Nearby anchors include Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy, Bear Valley Shopping Center and the Southwest Recreation Center. The corner lot and proximity to parkland create resale and lifestyle advantages, while documented incomplete renovation items present an opportunity to customize final finishes. Key due diligence items include verifying renovation completion, confirming roof condition, and arranging a professional inspection to validate systems and structural items before any purchase or financing decision.
