Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, the property has received a cosmetic 'refresh' including new flooring and interior paint. However, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with older tile countertops and cabinetry styles likely exceeding 20 years in age. While move-in ready, the home requires modernization of core fixtures and landscaping to the unfinished backyard.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10374, living area = 1494.
The property sits on a generous 10,374 sqft lot, providing rare versatility for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or potential ADU development in a suburban setting.
Recent refreshments including new flooring, fresh interior paint, and updated kitchen cabinetry offer a clean, modern aesthetic for immediate occupancy without the need for immediate renovation.
Originally built in 1948, the home may require future capital improvements to aging systems such as plumbing or electrical that are not addressed by the recent cosmetic updates.
The property lacks any elevated or scenic views, which may be a drawback for buyers specifically looking for the panoramic vistas common in other parts of the Whittier area.
