Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property shows significant signs of age and a lack of modern updates. The visible interior features popcorn ceilings and older built-in cabinetry. Crucially, there are no images of the kitchen or bathrooms, which strongly suggests these key areas are very dated and require substantial renovation. The presence of multiple window AC units, despite an outdoor central AC unit, indicates potential issues with the main HVAC system or its efficiency. The property analysis also notes that the home 'may require significant updates to its systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and aesthetics.' While described as 'well-maintained,' this likely refers to general upkeep rather than modern system upgrades, placing it in the 'poor' category due to the need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation of major components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Downey Location: Situated in a highly sought-after Downey neighborhood, offering convenient access to top-rated schools, local parks, and popular retail centers like The Promenade and Stonewood Center.
Excellent Freeway Accessibility: Provides quick and easy access to major freeways (105, 605, and 5), ideal for commuters and regional travel.
Functional Single-Level Layout: A single-level home with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, catering to a wide range of buyers including families and those seeking accessibility.
Added Flexible Space: The enclosed patio offers valuable additional square footage, providing versatile space for recreation, a home office, or extended living.
Ample Parking Solutions: Features both an attached garage and generous driveway parking, addressing a common need for convenient vehicle storage.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential Updates: Built in 1954, the home may require significant updates to its systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet modern standards and preferences.
Compact Interior Dimensions: With 1229 sqft for 4 bedrooms, the interior living spaces are relatively compact, which might feel restrictive for larger households or those desiring more expansive rooms.
Unverified Enclosed Patio Status: The 'enclosed patio' may not be part of the permitted square footage, potentially raising questions about its structural integrity, legality, and impact on property value or financing.
