Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1962, this property is over 60 years old. The kitchen features very dated cabinetry, countertops, and flooring, contradicting the 'modern appliances' claim in the description. Bathrooms are also significantly outdated with old fixtures and lighting. Flooring consists of worn carpets and dated tiles throughout. The empty, unmaintained swimming pool in the backyard represents a substantial repair and rehabilitation project. Overall, the property requires significant updates and repairs to meet current living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Functional Layout & Modern Kitchen: The home features a spacious open layout, ideal for comfortable living and entertaining, complemented by a functional kitchen equipped with modern appliances.
Central HVAC System: Equipped with central heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort for residents, a significant value-add.
Generous Outdoor Space: A large backyard provides ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or potential landscaping enhancements, appealing to families and outdoor enthusiasts.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located near schools, parks, shopping, and major freeways, including easy access to the 215 Freeway, enhancing daily convenience and commute times.
Significant Price Adjustment: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original list price of $500,000 to $420,000, presenting a potential value opportunity for buyers.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1962, the home is over 60 years old, which may imply potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Limited Renovation Details: While the kitchen boasts modern appliances, the description lacks specific details on comprehensive renovations or updates to other key areas like additional bathrooms, flooring, or windows, which might be expected for a home of this vintage.
Market Perception of Location: While conveniently located, San Bernardino's real estate market can sometimes face varying perceptions regarding property value appreciation and desirability compared to other Southern California cities, potentially impacting resale value or buyer interest.
