More Insights

Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1966, this property has undergone significant and stylish renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, chic butcher block countertops, and contemporary dark cabinetry. Both bathrooms are extensively updated with modern vanities, high-quality tile work (including unique geometric patterns and wood-look textures), and modern gold-toned fixtures, giving them a very current and appealing aesthetic. Flooring in the bedrooms appears to be newer wood-look material, while main living areas have clean, neutral tile. The light fixtures throughout are also modern. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation needs, aligning with a 'Good' rating. However, the property's age (1966) and the lack of explicit details regarding updates to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) prevent an 'Excellent' score, as these underlying components may not be as recently updated as the visible cosmetic features.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential Infrastructure: Built in 1966, the property's age may imply potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, insulation) that might require future updates beyond the cosmetic renovations mentioned.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System Details: Given Palm Springs' hot climate, the description does not explicitly mention a modern or updated cooling system (AC), which could be a significant comfort and energy efficiency concern for potential buyers.
