Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1948, this property is significantly aged and shows extensive deferred maintenance. The kitchen is severely outdated with original or very old appliances, worn countertops, and dated cabinetry, indicating a need for a complete renovation. The visible interior spaces are cluttered and appear neglected, suggesting the property is uncomfortable to live in its current state. While the description mentions 'potential' and 'TLC,' it clearly requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including probable extensive system replacements (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) due to its age and lack of apparent major renovations in decades.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Lot Size: The property boasts a very generous 22,135 sqft lot, offering ample space for expansion, landscaping, or adding desired outdoor amenities, which is a significant asset.
Strong Value-Add Potential: Explicitly marketed as needing 'TLC' with 'incredible potential,' this property is ideal for buyers or investors looking to customize, renovate, and build substantial equity.
Motivated Seller / Price Adjustment: A substantial price reduction from the original $349,900 to $285,900 indicates a motivated seller, presenting a potential opportunity for a competitive offer.
Scenic Views: The property offers desirable 'Canyon, Desert' views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a pleasant backdrop for outdoor living.
Desirable Area: Located in a 'desirable area of San Bernardino County,' the property benefits from its community appeal and potential for future appreciation within Apple Valley.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The listing clearly states the property 'needs some work' and 'TLC,' implying significant financial and time investment will be required for repairs, updates, and potential system overhauls.
Age of Property: Built in 1948, the home is over 75 years old, suggesting that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely outdated and will require costly modernizations to meet current standards and buyer expectations.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms and only 1 bathroom, the property has a low bath-to-bed ratio, which can be inconvenient for occupants and may deter a significant portion of potential buyers without an addition.
