Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1940, this home is aged but appears well-maintained with functional major systems like newer A/C, windows, and roof. However, the kitchen features very dated white appliances, cabinets, and countertops, and one bathroom has a significantly outdated pink tub and tile. While livable and clean, the property requires minor to moderate updates to its kitchen, bathrooms, and some flooring (worn hardwood, dated parquet) to meet current aesthetic standards.

Significant Recent Upgrades: The property features newer air conditioning, windows, and a roof, providing modern comfort and reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a 1940s home.
Spacious Master Suite: A grand master suite includes a spacious bedroom, an office/sitting area, and a separate bathroom, offering enhanced living space and versatility.
Desirable Outdoor Spaces: The large backyard and a quaint, separated courtyard provide ample private outdoor living areas perfect for relaxation and entertaining.

Functional Interior Features: The eat-in kitchen boasts ample storage, and the living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, adding practical appeal and comfort.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1940, despite recent upgrades, the underlying structure and systems not explicitly mentioned as new may be original or require future attention.
Niche Location: Needles, CA, is a small, remote desert community, which may limit the buyer pool and appeal to a specific demographic rather than a broad market.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property 'has a view,' it is specified as a 'Neighborhood' view, which is generally less desirable than more scenic or private vistas.
