Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1985, this property is well-maintained but shows its age through dated aesthetics. The kitchen features basic white cabinets, a very dated tile backsplash, and a mix of appliances (newer fridge, older range). The bathrooms are significantly outdated with older vanities and 'Hollywood' strip lighting. While functional and clean, the property requires minor cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current styles and standards. The carpeted floors and general finishes are also consistent with a home of this age that hasn't undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Family Location: Strategically located near highly-rated schools (West Wind Elementary, Amargosa Creek Middle, Lancaster High) and Antelope Valley College, making it exceptionally convenient for families and students with easy access to amenities.
Well-Maintained Condition: Explicitly noted as 'well-maintained' for a 1985 build, suggesting diligent care and potentially reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Year-Round Comfort: Equipped with central air conditioning, ensuring comfortable living conditions throughout the year, a significant amenity in the Lancaster climate.
Attractive Value Proposition: The recent price reduction from $495,000 to $480,000, coupled with a listing price slightly below its estimated market value ($482,005), presents a compelling value for potential buyers.
Ideal Starter Home: Marketed as an 'ideal' and 'wonderful starter home' with an 'inviting floor plan,' appealing directly to first-time buyers or those seeking an accessible entry into homeownership.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1985, the property is nearly 40 years old, which may lead to concerns about the age of major systems (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical) and potentially require future capital expenditures for updates or replacements.
Moderate Lot Size: The 6,076 sqft lot, while adequate, may be considered modest for some buyers seeking larger outdoor living areas, extensive gardening space, or more privacy in a single-family home setting.
Potential for Dated Aesthetics: Despite being well-maintained, a home built in 1985 may feature interior and exterior aesthetics, finishes, and layouts that are not aligned with current modern trends, potentially necessitating cosmetic renovations for buyers desiring contemporary styles.
