Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1980, this 44-year-old property shows significant signs of being outdated, particularly in the kitchen. The kitchen features very dated tiled countertops, older appliances, and traditional wood cabinetry with an outdated lighting style, indicating no major renovations in decades. While the home appears structurally sound from the exterior and is livable, it requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and the property is aged but maintained through regular upkeep, needing significant updates rather than critical repairs.

Cons

Potential for Updates: Built in 1980, the description 'California charm that you can put your one touch on it' suggests the property may require modernization or personalization to align with contemporary tastes.
Active Under Contract Status: Being 'Active Under Contract' means the property is already conditionally sold, significantly narrowing the pool of active buyers who might consider it.
Undefined Area/School Information: The 'Not Defined' MLS area and 'Other' high school district may lack specific appeal or clear market data for some buyers, potentially raising questions about local amenities or school quality.
