Property is extensive renovation needed.
While the kitchen and master bathroom show recent, modern updates with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances, and the main living areas have updated tile flooring, the property has significant drawbacks. Two of the bathrooms are outdated, and critically, a substantial portion of the interior (seen in images 30-32) is completely unfinished, requiring extensive rehabilitation including drywall, flooring, and ceiling work. This unfinished area, combined with the property's 1978 built year and the need for updates in other areas, means the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be fully functional and consistently updated throughout.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 36290, living area = 1758.
The property boasts nearly an acre of land (36,290 sqft), providing ample space for outdoor activities, potential expansion, or accommodating recreational vehicles and toys.
Features a beautiful patio and a swimming pool, creating an ideal setting for entertainment, relaxation, and enjoying the California climate.
Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, and while functional, it may require significant updates to systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) and aesthetics (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring) to meet modern buyer expectations, as no recent renovations are explicitly mentioned.
While schools are conveniently located, the nearby Sitting Bull Academy (K-8) and Apple Valley High School (9-12) have average ratings (6 and 5 respectively), which might not appeal to buyers prioritizing top-tier educational institutions.
The description highlights traditional comforts but does not mention contemporary amenities such as energy-efficient upgrades, smart home technology, or recent high-end renovations, potentially limiting its appeal to buyers seeking modern conveniences.
