Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1959, this property has been owned by the same family for over 60 years, suggesting minimal to no major renovations in recent decades. The kitchen features very dated light oak/maple cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting. The bathrooms are also significantly outdated, with one showcasing pink/peach tiled walls and a matching toilet, indicative of 1950s-1960s style, and the other having dated fixtures and lighting. While the property appears well-maintained and functional, it requires substantial cosmetic updates throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. The flooring (light carpet and linoleum) and light fixtures are also outdated. It is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing clear signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Single-Story Layout & Long-Term Ownership: This rare single-story home, owned by one family for over 60 years, offers desirable ease of living and suggests a stable, potentially well-cared-for property.
Generous Lot Size & Customization Potential: The large 15,849 sqft lot, spacious rooms, and driveway provide significant opportunities for expansion, landscaping, or personalized outdoor living spaces.
Desirable Western Views: The property boasts western views, likely offering attractive sunset vistas, which is a strong aesthetic selling point and enhances curb appeal.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located close to an elementary school (0.05 miles), dining, shopping, freeway access, and public transit (Sprinter Station), enhancing convenience and appeal.
Oversized Garage with Utility: A 2+ car garage provides ample space for vehicles, additional storage, and a dedicated workspace, adding practical value for homeowners.
Cons
Age of Construction (1959): Built in 1959, the property is over 60 years old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or require significant updates in the near future.
Potential for Dated Interiors/Renovation Needs: With over 60 years of single ownership, the interior finishes, fixtures, and overall aesthetic are likely dated, necessitating substantial renovation to align with modern buyer expectations and preferences.
Unspecified Condition of Major Systems: The description does not detail recent upgrades to critical components, implying potential deferred maintenance or the need for immediate capital investment in areas like HVAC, windows, or insulation.
