Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, this California ranch is well-maintained but reflects its age with dated interior finishes, including original-style wood paneling and older bathroom fixtures. While there are some modern improvements like a mini-split HVAC unit and a renovated pool area, the core systems and aesthetics are over 20 years old, placing it in the fair category for needing cosmetic and functional updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 111513, living area = 1198.
The expansive 2.5-acre property consists of two confirmed legal lots, providing a rare opportunity for subdivision, additional residential structures, or significant estate expansion.
Located at the end of a private road, the property offers exceptional seclusion and breathtaking panoramic views of the Topa Topa Mountains and Chief Peak.

At a list price of $2,999,000 for only 1,198 square feet, the property carries a very high price-per-square-foot ratio, which may be a hurdle for buyers focused on interior living space.
The current two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration may limit the property's appeal to smaller households or require the buyer to undertake costly expansions to accommodate larger families.
