Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1970, features an upgraded kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a farmhouse sink, which are positive updates. However, the overall condition is a mix of updated and dated elements. The living areas have carpet that appears older, and the kitchen/nook area features dated white square tile flooring. Some light fixtures, like the track lighting and ceiling fan, also appear to be older styles. Without images of the bathrooms, it's difficult to assess their condition, but the lack of presentation often suggests they are not a highlight. While well-maintained, the property requires minor updates to flooring, some fixtures, and likely the bathrooms to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning it with a 'Fair' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Top-Rated Schools: Situated in Valencia with convenient freeway access and zoned for highly-rated schools (e.g., Valencia High 9/10, Arroyo Seco Junior High 8/10), making it highly attractive for families.
No HOA or Mello Roos: The absence of Homeowners Association fees and Mello Roos taxes significantly reduces monthly ownership costs, enhancing affordability and long-term value.
Functional Single-Story Layout with Upgraded Kitchen: Offers a practical single-story design with four generous bedrooms, separate formal and family living rooms, and a recently upgraded kitchen with counter seating, providing modern functionality.
Versatile Outdoor Space & Scenic Views: Features a low-maintenance backyard with a large storage shed (potential man cave), a wide side yard suitable for toys or a dog run, and attractive views of canyons, hills, and mountains.
Recent Price Adjustment: A notable price reduction from $855,000 to $815,000 indicates potential for negotiation and increased buyer interest, suggesting seller motivation.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1970, the property may have original or older major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or replacement, despite the upgraded kitchen.
Limited Information on Overall Condition/Upgrades: Beyond the upgraded kitchen, the description lacks specific details on the condition or recent updates of other key areas like bathrooms, flooring, or major systems, suggesting potential for further investment to modernize.
Above Estimated Market Value: The current list price of $815,000 is slightly above the estimated property value of approximately $799,855, which may be a point of concern for some buyers utilizing valuation tools.
