Condition Rating
Fair
While the property has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including new kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathroom vanities, tubs, tile surrounds, and new flooring throughout, it was built in 1954. The kitchen is notably missing all major appliances, which is a significant immediate expense for a buyer and contradicts the 'move-in ready' claim. Furthermore, there is no information or visual evidence of updates to major systems such as HVAC, electrical, or plumbing, which are likely original or very old given the build year and would not be within their expected lifespan. Light fixtures are basic and outdated. The property requires immediate appliance installation and likely future updates to core systems, placing it in the 'fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7670, living area = 1056.
ADU Potential: The two-car garage has a permit for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Move-in Ready Condition: The home is described as 'move-in ready' with recent updates including new flooring, fresh paint, and a beautiful kitchen, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
Spacious Outdoor Living: A large, family-friendly yard perfect for outdoor activities, complemented by a welcoming tropical entrance with palm trees, enhances curb appeal and lifestyle.
Desirable Views: The property offers attractive mountain views, adding to its aesthetic appeal and potential long-term value.
Broad Market Appeal: Explicitly marketed as an 'excellent opportunity for first-Time buyers or an investment,' indicating strong interest from diverse buyer segments.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Older Construction: Built in 1954, the property's age suggests that underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades despite cosmetic renovations.
Compact Interior Layout: With 4 bedrooms in only 1056 square feet, the interior living spaces and individual bedrooms are likely to be relatively compact, which may not suit all buyer preferences for spaciousness.
Recent Price Reduction: The current list price of $559,900 is lower than the recent sale price of $590,000 in May 2024, which could raise questions about the previous transaction's valuation or indicate a necessary price correction.
