Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1961, this property has undergone significant recent updates including new interior paint, new vinyl plank flooring throughout, and renovated bathrooms with updated vanities and fixtures. A new dishwasher is also noted. While the kitchen features dated tile countertops and floor, and the bathroom also retains older floor tiles, the overall condition is move-in ready. The property is well-maintained, and the recent updates make it functional and comfortable, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with some updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent Interior Updates: The property boasts renovated bathrooms, new interior paint, and new vinyl plank flooring, offering a fresh and move-in-ready aesthetic.
Prime Location & Amenities: Situated in East Ventura's established Presidential Tract, it provides convenient access to Kimball Shopping Center, Ventura Aquatic Center & Community Park, and easy freeway access.
RV Parking Capability: A valuable practical feature, the property offers dedicated space for RV parking, catering to recreational vehicle owners or those needing extra parking.
Private Outdoor Space: The inclusion of a private front courtyard enhances outdoor living options and adds to the property's curb appeal.
Favorable Value & School Access: Listed below its estimated market value and located near highly-rated elementary schools (Juanamaria and Poinsettia, both rated 7), offering both financial appeal and family-friendly benefits.
Cons
No Cooling System Mentioned: The property description does not indicate the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer months.
Absence of Scenic Views: Explicitly stating 'View: None,' this property lacks a premium feature often sought after and valued in a desirable coastal market like Ventura.
Compact Interior Footprint: With 1223 square feet for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the interior living space is relatively modest, which may feel constrained for some families or those desiring more expansive rooms.
