* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this property is aged and shows significant signs of being outdated, consistent with the listing's mention of needing 'TLC.' The kitchen features dated blue tile flooring and older appliances, while the bathrooms and living areas show wear and tear on the walls and flooring. The presence of a portable AC unit suggests the central cooling system may be insufficient or aged. While functional and livable, the home requires cosmetic updates and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
The property is ideally situated just minutes from the 10, 605, and 210 freeways and Kaiser Permanente, offering excellent accessibility for commuters and healthcare professionals.
The layout features two en-suite bedrooms and laundry facilities on the upper level, with a guest-friendly half-bath downstairs and a direct-access two-car garage via a private patio.
Located within the gated Arbor Pines community, residents enjoy secure access to a swimming pool, spa, basketball court, and professionally maintained landscaping.
The listing explicitly mentions the home needs 'TLC,' indicating that buyers will likely need to invest additional capital into repairs or cosmetic updates immediately after purchase.
At 1,078 square feet, the interior living area is relatively modest, which may be a limiting factor for buyers seeking spacious common areas or a home office.
