More Insights

Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this home is aged but functional. The kitchen features very dated tile countertops, dark wood cabinets, and older white appliances, indicating a renovation likely 30+ years ago or original condition. The guest bathroom also shows significant age with small, dated tiles and a basic tub/shower combo. The master bathroom appears to have a slightly more recent vanity and shower, but still isn't modern. While the HVAC system is newer, the overall interior, including worn carpets and older hardwood floors, requires substantial cosmetic updates and rehabilitation to meet current standards. It is livable and has 'strong bones' but is far from move-in ready in terms of style and features.

Cons

Requires Modernization/Updates: Built in 1959, the property is described as a 'canvas,' indicating that significant cosmetic and possibly functional updates (beyond the HVAC) are likely needed to meet contemporary buyer preferences and standards.
No Premium Views: The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view, lacking the panoramic or scenic vistas (e.g., ocean, city lights, mountains) that can significantly enhance property value and appeal in the Southern California market.
Older Home Infrastructure: Despite having 'strong bones,' the 1959 construction year suggests potential for older plumbing, electrical systems, or insulation, which may require future investment or upgrades.
