Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1984, has undergone significant recent updates that elevate its condition. The roof was replaced last year, piping has been replaced, and a new water heater installed, indicating major system overhauls. Fresh paint inside and out, along with updated LVP flooring throughout, provide a clean and modern aesthetic. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and updated cabinet hardware, though the cabinet style and some light fixtures are not brand new. The bathroom is clean and functional, but not extensively renovated. These updates make the home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria, despite its age.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant System Upgrades: Recent replacement of the roof, plumbing, and water heater provides peace of mind and reduces immediate maintenance costs for a buyer.
ADU Potential & Usable Lot: The flat lot offers excellent potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or creating a custom garden/outdoor living space, adding future value and flexibility.
Convenient Location: Ideal location with easy freeway access and proximity to abundant shopping, enhancing daily convenience and desirability.
Freshly Updated Aesthetics: Fresh interior and exterior paint contribute to a move-in ready feel and improved curb appeal.
Improved Value Proposition: The recent price reduction from $799,900 to $749,000 makes the property more competitive and attractive to potential buyers.
Cons
Non-Conforming Bedroom: The third room, while used as a bedroom, lacks a closet, which may impact its official classification and could be a drawback for buyers seeking a true 3-bedroom home.
Limited Interior Space: With 1118 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact, which might be a consideration for larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Age of Structure: Built in 1984, despite recent system updates, the overall structure and other components are still 40 years old, which could lead to future maintenance needs not covered by recent upgrades.
