Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1948, this home has been well-maintained and features functional updates, particularly in the kitchen with granite countertops and oak cabinets. However, the style of these updates, including the black appliances and traditional light fixtures, appears to be 15-30 years old, not recent. The bathrooms are clean and functional but also show dated fixtures and finishes. While move-in ready, the property requires minor aesthetic updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Convenient Location: The property is strategically located close to schools, shopping centers, and offers easy freeway access, enhancing daily convenience.
Community Amenities: A desirable nearby park featuring a basketball court, barbecue facilities, and a tot lot provides excellent recreational opportunities.
Updated Kitchen: The kitchen boasts modern granite countertops, oak cabinets with practical pull-out drawers and lazy Susans, and a spacious eating area.
Spacious & Private Layout: The home is well-lit and very spacious, with four large bedrooms thoughtfully spaced out to ensure privacy for occupants.
Scenic Views: Enjoyable views are available from the living room and front porch areas, adding to the home's aesthetic appeal and living experience.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1948, the home may have older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require significant maintenance or upgrades in the future.
Lack of Modern HVAC Mention: The property description does not explicitly mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a drawback during warmer periods.
Recent Price Reduction: The recent price drop from $835,000 to $799,950, while beneficial for buyers, could indicate initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially raising questions about its perceived value.
