Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1999, this 27-year-old home is well-maintained but features original, dated finishes. The kitchen and bathrooms retain their late-90s oak cabinetry and white tile countertops. While the property has received essential maintenance including a 2026 roof tune-up, new carpet, and HVAC component replacements in 2025, it lacks the modern renovations required for a higher rating and fits the criteria for a property over 20 years old needing cosmetic updates.
The home features a highly desirable floor plan with a full bathroom on the main level, an upstairs laundry room with a sink, and a flexible second-story loft with its own private balcony.
Significant maintenance and upgrades have been completed recently, including a 2026 roof tune-up, premium carpet replacement, and the installation of smart home technology and security systems.
The property offers a rare three-car garage configuration (split 2+1) complemented by an extensive driveway, providing ample space for multiple vehicles, guests, or additional storage.
While the tax rolls and listing indicate four bedrooms, the fourth bedroom lacks a closet, which may affect its utility as a legal bedroom and impact future appraisal valuations.
Despite its location in the executive Rancho Del Rey neighborhood, the property does not offer the canyon or city views often sought after in this price point and geographic area.
NO MELLO ROOS AND NO HOA. Beautiful and spacious Rancho Del Rey home located in an executive-style neighborhood with extra-wide streets and convenient access to shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. This well-maintained residence offers a highly desirable floor plan featuring a full bathroom on the main level, a walk-in pantry, a cozy family room fireplace, an elegant curved staircase that creates a grand first impression, and a laundry room with sink upstairs. The oversized primary suite has a large walk-in closet, and the primary bathroom has a separate shower and tub. The second-floor loft opens to its own private balcony, offering flexible space for a home office, media room, or lounge area. The tax rolls state 4 bedrooms, but there isn't a closet in the 4th bedroom. Recent improvements include a roof tune-up and sealing completed in 2026, premium carpet and padding replacement in the family room in 2026, newer carpet in living-dining room, new vinyl side fences and gate entries. Additional upgrades include a Sensi Smart Thermostat, new A/C sensor and capacitor installed in 2025, a Blink Video Doorbell installed in 2025 and a security system. The kitchen features a Whirlpool oven and microwave, along with a newer GE dishwasher. Parking is plentiful with an attached two-car garage and a one-car garage, plus extensive driveway parking. Combining comfort, functionality, and numerous updates, this exceptional Rancho Del Rey home is ready to welcome its next owner.
