Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1945, the property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances (including a French door refrigerator, gas range, and dishwasher), light-colored countertops, and a contemporary subway tile backsplash. The bathroom is also fully updated with a modern vanity, sleek tiling, and recessed lighting. Laminate flooring is consistent throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and the description notes a 'newer A/C unit.' The backyard also shows significant updates with a covered patio and built-in grill. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards and presenting as move-in ready with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in a very desirable area of La Habra, on a quiet cul-de-sac with no front neighbors, offering enhanced privacy and curb appeal.
Key Updates: Recently updated bathroom, kitchen, and newer A/C unit, along with laminate flooring, provide modern comfort and reduce immediate renovation costs for buyers.
ADU Potential: The large backyard offers ample space and potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), significantly increasing property value and rental income opportunities.
Outdoor Living Space: Features a large backyard with a built-in grill, ideal for outdoor entertaining and family activities.
Targeted Market Appeal: Positioned as a charming starter home, appealing to first-time buyers or small families looking for an entry into a desirable neighborhood.
Cons
Compact Interior Size: With only 768 square feet, the interior living space is quite small, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or larger families.
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: The property offers only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which might not meet the needs of growing families or those desiring additional private spaces.
Age of Structure: Built in 1945, the home's older foundation and infrastructure, despite recent updates, may present long-term maintenance considerations not covered by cosmetic renovations.
