More Insights
Built in 1943 (82 years old).
Condition: This property is described as 'beautifully remodeled' and 'turnkey,' which is largely supported by the images of the main living areas. The kitchen features modern dark cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher visible), and a contemporary subway tile backsplash. The main bathroom is also updated with a modern vanity, vessel sink, subway tile, and current fixtures. Newer-looking dark wood laminate flooring is consistent throughout the main house. While the home was built in 1943, the visible renovations appear recent and extensive, making the main living spaces move-in ready. However, the age of the underlying structure, the clearly un-renovated bathroom in one of the outbuildings, and the lack of explicit mention of updated central cooling (a significant factor in Hemet's climate) prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score. Overall, it's a well-maintained property with significant recent updates, fitting the 'Good' category.
