This property, built in 1941, has undergone extensive and recent renovations, evidenced by its '2021 City of Downey Beautification Award Winner' status. The kitchen features beautifully renovated custom blue pearl granite countertops with a full backsplash and peninsula, while the bathroom showcases modern fixtures, a new vanity, and stylish tiling. Updated windows, doors, recessed lighting, designer light fixtures, and a mix of new hardwood and elegant Italian porcelain flooring contribute to a virtually new interior feel. While the absence of central air conditioning is a notable omission for a modern home, the comprehensive and high-quality updates throughout the property, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, align with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' and 'all components are new or virtually new' criteria for an excellent score.

Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in California.
Age of Core Structure (1941): While extensively remodeled, the home's original construction year of 1941 suggests that some underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond lighting) may still be original or require further inspection and potential updates.
Prior Failed Transaction: The listing explicitly states 'BACK ON THE MARKET! No fault of seller, buyers did not perform!', which may raise questions or concerns for prospective buyers regarding potential undisclosed issues or appraisal challenges.
