Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the property features significant updates to major systems including a newer HVAC, water heater, roof, and Anderson windows, the interior is described as 'frozen-in-time.' The kitchen and living areas retain original 1950s wood paneling and cabinetry that are over 70 years old, necessitating cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Energy Efficiency & Modern Upgrades
The property features significant high-value updates including paid-off solar panels saving $2,600 annually, an elastomeric 'cool roof,' newer Anderson windows, and a newer HVAC system.
- Exceptional Outdoor Living
The backyard serves as a private oasis with a diverse variety of fruit trees and a large covered patio that functions as a second living room, ideal for Southern California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
- Mid-Century Character
This well-maintained 1950s home offers authentic mid-century charm and pride of ownership, having been meticulously cared for by only three owners in its entire history.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Bathroom Utility
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms and a large great room, the layout may be restrictive for families or guests and could impact long-term resale value at this price point.
- Appliance Replacement Required
The sellers are retaining the vintage stove, requiring the buyer to manage the selection and installation of a new unit, which may disrupt the kitchen's aesthetic or move-in timeline.
About 13138 Welby Way
Well-loved Welby Way Mid-Century seeks its 3rd-ever Owner. This special spot melds frozen-in-time charm with thoughtful updates, including paid-off solar, elastomeric "cool roof," newer Anderson windows, newer AC & water heater, and drought-friendly landscaping. Other features include 2 nicely sized bedrooms, a great room that truly lives up to its moniker, a covered patio that acts as a second living room, and a backyard oasis that is home to all kinds of trees, from banana to mandarin to olive, avocado and more! Sellers are relocating out of state and hence have to let go of this wonderful home that has brought them so much joy. Must see to fully appreciate. Sellers plan to keep the vintage stove, but will credit Buyer toward a stove of their choice. Solar offsets power costs by $2600/year.
