This 1941-built home has undergone extensive and recent modernization, making it largely move-in ready. The bathrooms have been thoroughly remodeled 'from the studs' with modern finishes and fixtures, appearing virtually new. The kitchen features high-end Thermador appliances and Blue Pearl granite countertops, though the cabinet style and cooktop suggest an update that is perhaps 10-15 years old rather than brand new. Other significant updates include new double-pane windows, new doors, fresh paint, and well-maintained hardwood and Italian porcelain flooring. The property received a '2021 Downey Beautification Award,' indicating excellent curb appeal and exterior condition. The primary factor preventing an 'Excellent' score is the stated absence of central air conditioning, which is a major system deficiency for a fully modernized home in this climate.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modernization: Thoughtfully modernized and turnkey, featuring remodeled bathrooms, new doors, double-pane windows, and fresh paint throughout, ensuring a move-in ready experience.
Exceptional Outdoor Oasis: A private tropical backyard with an oversized pool, lush landscaping, and a unique tiki house with electricity, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.
Specialized Vehicle Amenities: Includes RV parking with a 250v hookup and a Porte Cochere with a professional, heavy-duty hoist, catering specifically to car enthusiasts or those with specialized vehicle needs.
Premium Interior Finishes: Boasts a high-end kitchen with Blue Pearl granite countertops and built-in Thermador appliances, complemented by Kohler fixtures, recessed lighting, and quality Italian porcelain/hardwood flooring.
ADU Potential & Large Lot: The detached 2-car garage offers strong Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion potential, providing future income or multi-generational living options, all situated on a generous 8,419 sqft lot.

Cons

Aggressive Pricing Strategy: The listing price of $1.27M is substantially higher than the estimated market value, which may deter potential buyers or lead to extended market time.
Absence of Central AC: Despite extensive updates, the property lacks a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern for buyers, especially during warmer California months.
Prior Failed Sale: The property's return to market due to a previous buyer's inability to perform may raise questions and caution among prospective buyers regarding potential underlying issues or market perception.
