Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1996, this property is 28 years old, placing it within the 'Fair' category's age range. The listing description explicitly states it 'needs some cosmetic updates' and 'a little TLC,' which aligns with a home requiring minor updates or repairs. The exterior image shows a dated appearance with faded paint and neglected landscaping. The visible window AC unit suggests potential issues with the central cooling system, indicating major components may be functional but show signs of being outdated or in need of repair. Without interior photos, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms, a definitive assessment of those key areas is limited, but the overall impression from the age and exterior condition points to a property that is aged but maintained, requiring updates to meet current standards rather than substantial structural repairs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Spacious Interior Layout: The property offers a generous 2454 sqft layout with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing ample living space for families.
Value-Add Opportunity: Described as having 'great bones' and needing 'cosmetic updates,' this property presents a significant opportunity for buyers to personalize and increase its value.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Conveniently situated near schools, shopping centers, and freeway access, enhancing daily convenience and long-term desirability within a 'desirable area'.
Solid Structural Foundation: The mention of 'great bones' suggests a well-built and structurally sound property, minimizing concerns about major foundational repairs.
Investment Potential: With its potential for transformation and location in a desirable area, it presents a strong case for both owner-occupant customization and rental income generation.
Cons
Immediate Renovation Needs: The property explicitly requires 'cosmetic updates' and 'a little TLC,' indicating additional immediate investment beyond the purchase price.
Compact Lot Size: At 4000 sqft, the lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, which may limit outdoor living space or future expansion possibilities.
Significant Price Appreciation: A substantial increase in list price from $440,000 to $590,000 could raise questions about current market value relative to the property's condition and required updates.
