Despite being built in 1955, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, bringing it to modern standards. The kitchen features contemporary white shaker cabinets, light countertops (likely quartz), stainless steel appliances, and modern lighting. Bathrooms are fully updated with glass-enclosed showers, subway tile, chevron accents, and sleek black fixtures. The flooring is consistent light wood-look throughout, and lighting includes recessed fixtures and modern ceiling fans. The detached ADU also appears recently updated. The overall aesthetic and finishes suggest a renovation completed within the last 5 years, making the property virtually new in its key components and move-in ready with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Detached ADU: The property includes a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU, offering significant flexibility for rental income, guest accommodation, or a private home office.
Move-in Ready & Updated Kitchen: Described as a 'move-in ready gem' with a 'beautifully updated kitchen,' indicating immediate comfort and reduced initial renovation costs for the buyer.
Spacious Layout & Natural Light: The home features a bright, open, and spacious layout filled with natural light, designed for easy living and entertaining.
Large Lot & Private Backyard: Boasts a substantial lot size (over 21,000 sqft) with a private backyard, ideal for outdoor gatherings and enjoying the California climate.
Scenic Views: Offers desirable City Lights and Mountain views, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and potential value.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1955, the property may have underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that, if not comprehensively updated, could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Limited Specifics on System Updates: While the kitchen is updated, the description lacks details on the condition or recent upgrades of other major systems such as HVAC, roof, windows, or other bathrooms, which is a consideration for a home of this age.
Potential for Higher Utility Costs: As a 1955 build, the home may not possess the same level of energy efficiency or insulation as newer constructions, potentially leading to higher utility expenses.
