Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1946, the property shows signs of regular upkeep with fresh paint and well-maintained original hardwood floors. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with vintage appliances (except for a newer dishwasher), original-style cabinets, tile countertops, and backsplash, indicating it has not been extensively renovated in decades. The bathrooms also appear functional but not modernized. While the home is clean and livable, the kitchen and bathrooms require substantial aesthetic and functional updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require more than minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Lot Size & Development Potential: The massive 0.31-acre lot offers significant potential for adding an ADU, a pool, or creating an elaborate entertainer's backyard, enhancing future value and utility.
Recent Cosmetic Updates: The home features fresh interior and exterior paint, providing an updated aesthetic and enhancing its immediate curb appeal.
Retained Original Character: Maintaining its timeless charm with original hardwood floors, the property blends classic appeal with modern updates.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Located in a prime Lemon Grove neighborhood, it offers easy freeway access (94 & 125) and close proximity to restaurants, schools, and shopping.
Customization Opportunity: Described as a 'blank canvas,' the property provides a unique opportunity for buyers to personalize and design spaces to their specific vision and needs.
Cons
Age of Property & Unspecified System Condition: Built in 1946, the property's age suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future upgrades or maintenance, as no major system renovations are mentioned.
Limited Major Interior Renovations: While cosmetic updates are noted, the description does not specify recent renovations to key areas such as the kitchen or bathrooms, implying these might be original or dated and could necessitate significant investment.
Substantial Additional Investment for Full Potential: The 'limitless potential' for an ADU or dream backyard, while a strength, also indicates that realizing these visions will require considerable additional financial outlay and project management beyond the purchase price.
