Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1964, this property is 60 years old. The exterior images show visible signs of deferred maintenance, including peeling paint on the siding and trim. Crucially, the listing explicitly notes a 'Lack of Specific Modern Upgrades' for key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. For a home of this age, this strongly implies that these critical areas are significantly outdated in terms of style, features, and potentially functionality, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations. While the description mentions 'mid-century charm and modern comfort,' the lack of specific updates and the visible exterior wear suggest a significant investment would be needed to modernize the home.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Nestled in the highly desirable Cowan Heights area, offering an ideal sanctuary in a sought-after residential community.
Panoramic Views: The property boasts desirable panoramic and mountain views, significantly enhancing its appeal and potential value.
Generous Lot Size: A spacious 12,240 square foot lot provides ample outdoor space for privacy, landscaping, or potential expansion.
Spacious Single-Story Layout: Offering 2307 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on a single level, providing comfortable and functional living space.
Mid-Century Charm: Built in 1964, the home presents a charming mid-century aesthetic, appealing to buyers seeking classic architectural style with potential for modern integration.
Cons
Overpriced Relative to Estimation: The current listing price of $2.2 million is 12% higher than the estimated property value of approximately $1.92 million, which may deter potential buyers or lead to extended market time.
Age of Property (Potential for Updates): Constructed in 1964, the home's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or finishes may require significant updates or maintenance to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
Lack of Specific Modern Upgrades: While described as a 'blend of mid-century charm and modern comfort,' the details do not specify recent renovations to key areas like the kitchen or bathrooms, which could imply additional investment for a turn-key modern living experience.
