Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1962, making it 62 years old. While it benefits from central AC and some updated elements like laminate flooring and a modern dining light fixture, the overall interior style, including wainscoting and security bars on windows, suggests that a comprehensive renovation has not occurred recently. The limited view of the kitchen indicates older tile. The home appears well-maintained and functional, but its age and visible dated features mean it would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Spacious Lot Size: The property boasts a generous lot size of nearly 9,000 sqft (8,940 sqft), offering ample outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or potential future expansion/ADU.
Central Air Conditioning: Equipped with central AC, a significant comfort feature that adds value and appeal, especially in the Southern California climate.
Convenient Location: Strategically located in a 'nice location' close to schools and shopping centers, providing excellent convenience for daily errands and family needs.
Ample Bedrooms: With 4 bedrooms, the home offers versatile living arrangements, suitable for larger families, home offices, or guest accommodations.
Usable Outdoor Space: The description highlights 'nice front and back yard,' indicating well-maintained and usable outdoor areas for curb appeal and outdoor living.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1962, the home's age may suggest original systems (plumbing, electrical) or dated aesthetics that could require significant updates or maintenance in the near future.
Lack of Specific Interior Updates: While described as 'beautiful,' the listing does not specify recent interior renovations (e.g., remodeled kitchen/baths), which might be expected by buyers at this price point for a home of this vintage.
Generic Subdivision Name: The 'other' subdivision name might imply a less defined community or lack of specific neighborhood amenities compared to properties located within established, named tracts.
