Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old and shows minimal to no significant updates since its construction or a very early renovation. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and a very outdated fluorescent light fixture. Bathrooms also exhibit dated vanities, tile work, and light fixtures. The consistent dated tile flooring throughout and the presence of a window AC unit suggest that major systems like HVAC are likely old or inefficient. While the property appears clean and functional, it requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization in key areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and potentially HVAC, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Financial Incentives: A significant $20,000 grant is approved, which can be utilized for down payment, closing costs, or an interest rate buydown, making it highly attractive for buyers.
Motivated Seller & Price Reduction: The seller is highly motivated, evidenced by multiple price reductions from an original list price of $390,000 to $335,000, and willingness to assist with closing costs.
Family-Friendly Configuration: The property offers a practical layout with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, suitable for families or those requiring extra space.
Practical Amenities: Includes a convenient 2-car garage and a dedicated laundry room, enhancing daily functionality and appeal.
Convenient Location: The home is strategically located close to schools, shopping centers, and freeway access, providing ease of commute and access to essential services.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1974, the home is 50 years old, which may indicate older systems, potential for deferred maintenance, or a need for modern updates.
Lack of Specific Updates: The description uses the term 'charming' but does not specify any recent renovations or modern upgrades, suggesting potential for cosmetic or functional improvements.
No Scenic View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, especially in a region where views can add significant value.
