Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1976, making it 48 years old. While the kitchen and bathrooms have received updates, including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tiled showers, the style of these renovations appears to be from 15-25 years ago rather than a very recent, comprehensive overhaul. The wood cabinetry, specific tile patterns, and overall aesthetic, while well-maintained, are not aligned with current modern design trends. The home is move-in ready and shows signs of regular upkeep, but major components and some updated features are functional yet show signs of being outdated in style.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in one of Downey's most desirable Northeast neighborhoods, known for upscale homes, with excellent access to major freeways (5, 105, 605, 710) for convenient commuting.
Spacious & Flexible Layout: A custom one-story home featuring 4 bedrooms, including two master suites, an additional private room, and a dedicated office, offering versatile living arrangements and ample space.
Modern & Open Kitchen: Boasts an amazing, open-concept kitchen with all appliances included and a large island, ideal for entertaining and catering to the 'inner chef'.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Privacy: Located on a corner lot with a refreshing, well-maintained backyard, iron fences for privacy, and French doors providing seamless indoor-outdoor flow for gatherings.
Security & Unique Features: Equipped with a surveillance system (cameras included) for added security, a durable concrete roof, and unique brick detailing, contributing to its distinct character.

Cons

Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone substantial price reductions from its original listing, indicating potential overpricing or challenges in market absorption at previous price points.
Age of Property (1976): Built in 1976, while custom, the age suggests that some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or areas beyond the kitchen may be original and could require future updates or maintenance.
Subjective Interior Aesthetics: The description highlights 'exquisite decorations,' which can be highly subjective and may not align with all buyers' tastes, potentially necessitating further investment for personalization.
