The property, built in 1977, shows signs of regular maintenance and some updates, such as dual-pane windows, a remodeled primary bathroom, and some newer kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen's overall style, including the cabinetry, counters, and particularly the dated fluorescent lighting, would require significant updates to meet current standards. The secondary bathroom is only 'partially remodeled,' and the flooring is a mix of carpet and tile, which, while clean, is not consistently modern. The lack of explicit mention of updates to major systems like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical for a home of this age suggests potential future costs. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to key areas to enhance its appeal and functionality.

Lack of Central Air Conditioning Mention: The description highlights 'sun-filled' rooms and 'warmth' but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in California.
Partial Bathroom Remodel: One of the upstairs bathrooms is noted as only 'partially remodeled,' which may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking fully updated and cohesive modern finishes throughout the entire home.
