More Insights
Built in 1938 (87 years old).
Condition: This 1938 Spanish-style home has undergone significant modern updates, making it move-in ready. The description highlights 'gleaming hardwood floors,' 'central AC,' and an 'updated primary suite bathroom,' all of which are evident in the images. The kitchen features updated light wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a skylight, though the dark green granite countertops and the microwave's placement suggest the renovation might be closer to 5-15 years old rather than brand new. The primary bathroom is well-appointed with a modern glass-enclosed shower and custom cabinetry. The second bathroom is clean and functional, but its tile style appears slightly more dated. Overall, the property is well-maintained with good quality updates, but not every component reflects a brand-new, high-end renovation, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
