Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1957, this property is significantly outdated throughout. The kitchen features very old wood cabinets, dated tile countertops, and white appliances that appear to be decades old, requiring a complete renovation. Bathrooms also show similar signs of age with outdated fixtures and finishes. Flooring consists of worn carpets and dated tile. Light fixtures are basic and old, and the presence of window AC units suggests an inadequate or very old central cooling system. The exterior wood siding is weathered, indicating deferred maintenance. While livable, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards of comfort and aesthetics.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Lot Size: The property sits on over an acre of land (46,609 sqft), offering significant outdoor space for various activities, pets, vehicles, or potential future expansion.
Flexible Living Spaces: With 4 bedrooms, a 5th bonus room, and an additional bonus space (potential 6th bedroom/office), the home provides ample and versatile living arrangements suitable for large families or those needing dedicated functional areas.
Extensive Storage & Utility: Two storage sheds, including a 40ft storage container, both equipped with electricity, offer exceptional storage capacity and potential for workshops or hobby spaces.
Charming Architectural Details & Amenities: The living room features distinctive tongue and groove ceilings and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, adding character and comfort to the home.
Scenic Views: The property boasts desirable desert and mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a connection to the natural surroundings.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1957, the home is over 65 years old, which may imply a need for updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general maintenance to meet modern standards and efficiency.
Bonus Rooms Lacking Closets: Both the 5th bonus room and the additional bonus space are explicitly noted to lack closets, which limits their official classification as bedrooms and may require modifications for optimal use as private sleeping quarters.
Unspecified Cooling System: While a wood-burning fireplace is mentioned for warmth, the description does not specify the presence or type of cooling system, which is a critical consideration for comfort in Barstow's desert climate.
