Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1972, this property is over 50 years old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features very dated dark wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older appliances, explicitly noted in the description as needing updates. Bathrooms are also mentioned as needing cabinet updates, suggesting a similar dated condition. Other areas exhibit worn carpets, popcorn ceilings, and outdated light fixtures. While major systems like central heating and air conditioning are present, the overall aesthetic and functional components require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring the home to modern standards, aligning with a 'poor' condition rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Value Proposition: The property is listed significantly below its estimated market value (37% below), offering substantial built-in equity and a 'deal alert' for buyers looking to invest and add value.
Spacious & Functional Layout: This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home boasts a large living room and a separate family room, providing ample and versatile living spaces.
Generous Lot Size & Desirable Location: Situated on an extra-wide/double lot in the desirable Ben Hunter tract, the property offers convenient access to Luckie Park, local restaurants, houses of worship, and the Marine Corps Base.
Robust Climate Control: Equipped with central heating and air conditioning, plus an available evaporative cooler, ensuring comprehensive climate comfort in the desert environment.
Oversized Two-Car Garage: The property includes an extra-wide, partially finished two-car garage, offering excellent utility, storage, and potential for further customization.
Cons
Outdated Interior Finishes: The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are explicitly noted as needing updates, which will require immediate renovation investment from the buyer.
Age of Property: Built in 1972, the home's age suggests that some systems or components may be original and could require future maintenance, repair, or replacement.
Renovation Required for Modernization: While offering built-in equity, the property is not move-in ready for those seeking contemporary finishes, necessitating a buyer willing to undertake renovation projects.
