Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old. While it benefits from a newer roof, vinyl windows, and updated showers, the actual kitchen (as seen in unaltered photos) is severely outdated with original-era cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances, requiring a full renovation. The carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms are worn and dated, and the overall aesthetic, including popcorn ceilings, is from a past era. These factors indicate a need for substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, particularly in the kitchen and flooring, making it uncomfortable for many buyers in its current state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Amenities: The property is ideally situated next to Barranca Vista Park, offering easy access to recreational facilities like basketball and tennis courts. It's also conveniently close to coffee shops, diverse restaurants, and major shopping centers including Ralphs, Trader Joe's, and Target.
Excellent School Access: Located within a highly-rated school district, with multiple public elementary, middle, and high schools (e.g., Portola Elementary rated 8, Ventura High rated 6) in close proximity, making it attractive for families.
Recent Key Updates: Significant updates have already been completed, including a newer roof, vinyl windows, updated showers in both bathrooms, and a hallway solar can light, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a buyer.
Spacious Layout & Features: The home boasts a 'perfect floorplan' with a large family room designed to maximize natural light, and the primary bedroom includes a desirable walk-in closet.
High Bedroom Count: With 5 bedrooms, this property offers ample space for larger families, guest rooms, or dedicated home office setups, catering to diverse living needs.
Cons
Extensive Remodeling Implied: The listing explicitly states 'Digitally altered photos labeled, used to provide buyers some remodeling ideas,' strongly indicating that the property requires significant cosmetic and potentially functional updates beyond the listed improvements to meet modern standards.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property description explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a drawback for buyers seeking scenic vistas, especially in a coastal California location.
Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1971, despite some recent updates, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., original plumbing, electrical, HVAC if present) may still be older and could require future maintenance or replacement, adding to potential long-term costs.
