Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1947, this property shows significant age throughout. While generally maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated with original or very old cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances (coil-top range, dated fridge/dishwasher). The flooring, including worn hardwood and dated carpets/linoleum, also indicates a lack of recent renovation. These critical areas require substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with renovations likely 30-50+ years ago.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Mountain Location: Situated in Idyllwild, a highly sought-after mountain community renowned for its natural beauty, serene environment, and outdoor recreational opportunities.
Scenic Views: The property boasts explicit 'Trees/Woods' views, providing a tranquil backdrop and enhancing its overall appeal for those seeking a connection with nature.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 13,068 sqft lot offers ample outdoor space, potential for landscaping, gardening, or expansion, and a good degree of privacy.
Functional Layout: With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property provides a practical and versatile living arrangement suitable for families, couples, or as a vacation retreat.
Potential for Historic Charm: Built in 1947, the home likely possesses original character and offers a unique opportunity for buyers to restore or renovate, blending historic charm with modern comforts.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Maintenance: Constructed in 1947, the home is over 75 years old, suggesting a higher likelihood of outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) and potential for deferred maintenance or significant renovation costs.
Remote School Proximity: All listed public schools are located a considerable distance (ranging from 9.67 to 13.31 miles) from the property, which could be a significant inconvenience for families with school-aged children.
Compact Interior Square Footage: At 1041 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom home, which may be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
