Pros & Cons
Pros
Modernized Kitchen: The kitchen has been newly updated with a stove and microwave/range, providing a modern and functional space for cooking.
Extensive Interior Refresh: Fresh flooring throughout and new windows in every room significantly enhance the home's immediate appeal and energy efficiency.
Significant Lot Size & Expansion Potential: A spacious 6,612 sqft lot with a huge backyard offers ample room for future expansion, adding an ADU, or creating a personalized outdoor oasis.
Desirable Location: Conveniently located near schools, shopping, and neighborhood amenities, providing ease of access to daily necessities and community resources.
Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly highlighted as having 'investment potential or room to grow,' appealing to buyers looking to build equity and customize their living space.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6612, other record lot size in square feet = 6818.
Limited Bathroom Count: A single bathroom for a 3-bedroom home can be a significant functional constraint for families or multiple residents, potentially impacting daily convenience.
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1959, while cosmetic updates are present, the property's underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
Absence of Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which is a notable omission for a home in California and could be a significant comfort issue during warmer months.
