Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1954, has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new carpet in all bedrooms, and a brand new roof, making it move-in ready from a basic maintenance perspective. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring original or very old tile countertops, older cabinets (painted gray), dated appliances, and older tile flooring and fixtures. While functional, these key areas require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates' and 'major components are functional but show signs of being outdated' criteria for a 'Fair' score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: The property boasts stunning, unmatched views in every direction, including City Lights, Desert, Hills, and Mountains, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Large & Private Lot: Situated on a private corner lot over half an acre (22,351 sqft) at the very top of the hill, offering exceptional privacy and space.
Recent Key Upgrades: Features fresh paint, brand new carpet in all bedrooms, and a brand new roof, making the home move-in ready and reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Mid-Century Charm: The home retains its desirable Mid-Century charm and style, appealing to buyers looking for character and a unique aesthetic.
Outdoor Living & Accessibility: Includes spacious decks perfect for enjoying sunrises and sunsets, and a rolling gate providing effortless access for recreational vehicles like side-by-sides or desert toys.
Cons
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: Given Barstow's desert climate, the description highlights a fireplace but does not mention any air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during hot months.
Age of Property: Built in 1954, while having charm and recent updates, the underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) may still be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not covered by the recent cosmetic improvements.
Price Adjustment History: The list price recently increased from $295,000 to $310,000, which could indicate a seller testing the market or a potential overpricing, possibly affecting buyer perception or negotiation strategy.
