Built in 1960, this property has received some recent updates such as a newer roof (2021) and exterior paint (assuming recent, despite the future date typo). The interior features newer laminate flooring in common areas and some updated kitchen elements like a mosaic backsplash and stainless steel dishwasher. However, the kitchen cabinets appear original or older, and the bathroom retains very dated light blue tile in the shower/tub surround, despite a newer vanity. Popcorn ceilings and older windows are also present. While functional and maintained, the property shows its age and requires minor updates to modernize key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive View Lot: Situated on a beautiful view lot spanning over an acre (45,738 sqft), offering panoramic city lights and general views, providing privacy and aesthetic appeal.
Recent Exterior Upgrades: Features a newly painted exterior (Sept 2026) and a newer asphalt shingle roof (June 2021), reducing immediate capital expenditures and enhancing curb appeal.
ADU & Expansion Potential: The generous lot size provides ample room for future development, including the possibility of adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a pool, or extensive landscaping.
Strategic Location: Conveniently located in the Horizon Hills area, close to schools, shopping, and outdoor activities, enhancing daily living and property desirability.
Motivated Seller & Price Reduction: A recent price reduction from $1,007,500 to $980,000 and the explicit mention of a 'Motivated Seller' present a strong opportunity for buyers to negotiate a favorable purchase price.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1960, the property may feature original or outdated interior finishes and systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant modernization.
Unspecified Interior Condition: While exterior updates are highlighted, the listing lacks details on interior renovations, suggesting potential for outdated kitchen, bathrooms, or other living spaces requiring investment.
Potential for Outdated Infrastructure: As a 1960 build, the property's core infrastructure might be older, potentially leading to less energy efficiency and higher utility costs compared to newer constructions.
