Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1949, making it over 70 years old. While it benefits from significant recent updates such as paid-off solar panels, artificial turf in the front yard, a converted detached garage (adding a 3rd bedroom), and a built-in pool, these improvements primarily address exterior features and auxiliary spaces. There is no information or imagery provided for the interior, specifically the kitchen and bathroom. Given the property's age, it is highly probable that the kitchen and single bathroom are outdated in style and features, and major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may also be original or have older updates, showing signs of being outdated or nearing the end of their lifespan. The property is maintained and functional but would likely require minor to moderate interior updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Paid-off Solar Panels: The property features paid-off solar panels, offering significant long-term savings on electricity bills and contributing to a lower cost of ownership.
Converted Detached Garage: A detached garage has been converted into an extra 3rd bedroom, adding valuable functional living space and increasing the property's versatility.
Built-in Pool: The backyard includes a built-in pool, a highly desirable amenity for recreation and relaxation, especially beneficial in Barstow's climate.
Low-Maintenance Landscaping: The front yard boasts artificial grass, providing a maintenance-free solution that saves time, water, and landscaping costs.
Proximity to Amenities: The home is conveniently located close to schools (including a highly-rated high school) and a park, enhancing its appeal for families and daily convenience.
Cons
Small Original Square Footage: With an original 795 sqft, the property is relatively small, which may limit appeal for larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Single Bathroom: The property features only one bathroom, which can be inconvenient for a household, especially with the addition of a third bedroom.
Age of Property: Built in 1949, the home is older, potentially indicating aging infrastructure or systems that may require future maintenance or updates beyond current improvements.
