The property, built in 1940, has received some recent functional updates such as a new roof (2 years ago), owned solar, and a mini-split system in the living room. The kitchen features updated granite countertops, but the wood cabinets, flooring (linoleum/vinyl), and fluorescent strip lighting appear dated. Appliances are a mix of newer (refrigerator, microwave) and older (dishwasher, range). The bathroom is described as 'recently updated' and appears clean and functional, but basic in style. Other interior elements like mixed flooring (carpet, laminate/vinyl) and older light fixtures contribute to an overall dated aesthetic. While well-maintained and livable, the home requires minor to moderate updates to modernize its style and features, particularly in the kitchen and for a more comprehensive cooling system.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Lot & Outdoor Potential: The property boasts a nearly half-acre lot (20,909 sqft) with mature fruit trees, a spacious backyard, and a detached two-car garage, offering significant outdoor living and development potential.
Energy Efficiency & Modern Upgrades: Features owned solar panels, a recently replaced roof (2 years ago), and a mini-split system in the living room, contributing to lower energy costs and enhanced comfort.
Recent Interior Updates: The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, and the bathroom has been recently refreshed, providing modern aesthetics and functionality.
Ample Storage & Convenience: Includes a detached two-car garage, indoor laundry with two large storage rooms, and essential appliances (refrigerator, washer, dryer) are included in the sale.
Strategic Location & Views: Offers convenient freeway access for commuters and provides desirable 'Hills, Peek-A-Boo' views, enhancing its appeal.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1940, the home is over 80 years old, which may imply potential for unseen maintenance or system upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic improvements.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1340 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest compared to the expansive lot size, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger indoor accommodations.
Limited Central Cooling: The description only mentions a mini-split system in the living room, suggesting a lack of full central air conditioning throughout the entire home, which could be a comfort concern in warmer months.
