More Insights

Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, updated laminate flooring, new kitchen countertops, and a newly finished backyard. While these updates make it move-in ready, the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities retain an older, traditional style, suggesting they have not undergone a full modern renovation. The property analysis also notes the absence of a central cooling system, which is a significant functional update needed. Overall, the home is aged but well-maintained with occasional updates, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated in style and features, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria.

Cons

Absence of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern and potential upgrade cost for buyers in California's climate.
Original Construction Age (1971): While cosmetically updated, the 1971 build year suggests potential for original major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may require future attention or upgrades not explicitly addressed.
Partial Carpeted Flooring: The presence of 'well-maintained carpet' may not align with current buyer preferences for hard flooring throughout, potentially requiring further investment for some buyers.
