Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this property is aged but appears maintained. However, the kitchen features very dated black and white checkered tile countertops and backsplash with basic white cabinets. Bathrooms also show significantly outdated tile work and vanities. Cooling is provided by window AC units, indicating a lack of central air. While functional, the home requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current quality and style standards.
High School: Cerritos High School (10/10).
The property boasts convenient access to surrounding amenities, shopping, dining, and major commuting routes within Artesia.
