Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1957, shows signs of regular maintenance and some significant system updates like a new HVAC and paid-off solar panels. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, reflects a dated aesthetic. The kitchen features traditional wood cabinets, dark granite, and a tiled backsplash that appear to be from a renovation 15-25 years ago. The bathroom is notably dated with white tiled countertops, terracotta-colored drop-in sinks, and ornate mirrors. While functional and clean, these areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Rare Equestrian Property: This property is a truly rare find in Fullerton, featuring an expansive 46,334 sq. ft. lot with a dedicated barn, stables, covered corrals, and a large riding arena, appealing to a niche market of horse enthusiasts.
Significant Energy & System Upgrades: Boasts a fully paid-off solar system with over 50 panels, a recently installed dual-zone HVAC system, and a water softener, providing modern efficiency and long-term cost savings.
Prime & Private Location: Situated in the highly desirable Sunny Hills neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a secluded and exclusive living environment.
Extensive Outdoor Entertainment: Features a recently remodeled saltwater pool, a built-in BBQ kitchen, and vast outdoor space, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the California lifestyle.
ADU Conversion Potential: The existing barn, already equipped with water and electricity, presents a clear and valuable opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1957, the main residence, while having some updates, may require further interior modernization or renovations to fully align with contemporary design preferences, as suggested by 'bursting with potential'.
Lower Bedroom/Bathroom Ratio: With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for 2,628 sq. ft. of living space, some buyers might find the bedroom and bathroom count limited for the property's overall size and potential price point.
High Maintenance Demands: The expansive lot size and specialized equestrian facilities will necessitate significant ongoing maintenance and upkeep, which could be a considerable commitment for potential owners.
