Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1970, this property is well-maintained but shows signs of age and dated styles in key areas. The kitchen features older white appliances, including an electric coil cooktop, and cabinet/countertop styles that appear to be from a renovation 15-30 years ago. While one bathroom has been nicely updated with modern tile and fixtures, other elements like some light fixtures and the overall aesthetic are not contemporary. The hardwood flooring is in good condition, but the property requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen, to meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the desirable city of La Palma, the property offers excellent accessibility, being close to shopping centers and the 91 freeway, enhancing convenience for residents.
Functional Floor Plan: The interior boasts an open layout with a spacious living room, a dedicated dining room, and a family room, providing versatile and ample living spaces for various needs.
Generous Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the house is well-suited for families, offering sufficient private and communal spaces.
Two-Story Design: The two-story structure provides a clear separation between living areas and private bedrooms, a popular feature for family homes seeking distinct zones.
Bright Kitchen with Backyard View: The kitchen is described as bright and offers a pleasant view of the backyard, contributing to an inviting and functional culinary space.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1970, the property may require significant updates to its systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and aesthetics to meet modern standards, as no recent renovations are explicitly mentioned.
Compact Lot Size: The 4,750 sqft lot is relatively small for a 2,104 sqft two-story home, potentially limiting outdoor living space, gardening opportunities, or future expansion.
"Back On Market" Status: While offering a second chance, this status can sometimes signal underlying issues (e.g., inspection findings, financing problems) that caused a previous deal to fall through, potentially raising buyer concerns.
