Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1960, has undergone significant recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinets, modern dark countertops, recessed lighting, and newer stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, range/oven). The living areas and bedrooms have updated laminate wood-look flooring and fresh paint. However, some elements in the bathroom, such as the vanity countertop and shower tile, appear slightly older, and the tile flooring in the kitchen, dining area, and bathroom, while clean, is not the most contemporary style. Overall, the updates are substantial and well-maintained, fitting the 'good' category for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, but not a full, top-to-bottom, high-end renovation that would qualify as 'excellent'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in a prime location, close to UC Riverside, making it highly attractive for students, faculty, or as a rental investment. Its quiet cul-de-sac position at the base of Box Springs Mt. Reserve offers tranquility and natural beauty.
Scenic Views: The property boasts great views of hills and mountains, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a desirable living environment.
Financial Advantages: Benefits from low taxes and no HOA fees, significantly reducing the ongoing cost of homeownership for potential buyers.
ADU Conversion Potential: The attached 2-car garage presents an ideal opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Recent Updates: The property has been recently updated, suggesting a move-in ready condition and potentially reducing immediate renovation costs for the new owner.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1960, despite recent updates, the property's age may imply potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Recent Price Reduction: The listing price has recently been reduced from $650,000 to $639,000, which could raise questions for potential buyers regarding the initial pricing strategy or underlying reasons for the adjustment.
Vague Update Details: The description mentions 'recently updated' without specifying the scope or nature of these updates, which might lead to buyer uncertainty about the extent and quality of renovations.
