More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: This 1960-built home has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and custom cabinets. The primary bathroom is completely remodeled with luxurious features like LED lighted mirrors, a frameless glass shower with a rain head, jets, and Bluetooth speakers, appearing virtually new. Newer wood floors are present throughout, and the property benefits from fully paid solar panels and a new hot water heater. However, despite these significant upgrades, the absence of a central cooling system, a key modern amenity, and the underlying age of the structure prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback and potential added expense for buyers, especially given Simi Valley's warm climate.
Older Construction Age: Built in 1960, despite numerous updates, the underlying structure's age may lead to concerns about older plumbing, electrical systems, or insulation that were not explicitly mentioned as being upgraded, potentially requiring future maintenance.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property 'has_view:true', the specific view is listed as 'Neighborhood', suggesting it lacks the premium panoramic or scenic views that could command a higher price point or offer a more unique selling proposition.
