More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but features significantly outdated elements. The kitchen has tiled countertops, older light wood cabinets, and appliances that appear functional but are not modern. Bathrooms also feature tiled countertops, older fixtures, and a very dated color palette (e.g., beige/almond tub, yellow jacuzzi). While the property is clean and livable, it requires substantial aesthetic updates and potential system modernizations to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Older Property Age: Built in 1963, the property is over 60 years old. While described as a 'fine De Anza home,' properties of this age often require ongoing maintenance, potential system updates, or aesthetic renovations to meet contemporary standards, which are not detailed.
Desert Climate & Seasonal Appeal: Located in a 'low desert' area, the property's primary appeal is as a 'winter resort destination.' This implies significant seasonal variations in climate, potentially making summer months less desirable for full-time residency without explicit mention of robust cooling systems or other climate mitigation features.
