Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this home is functional and livable but significantly dated. While the listing mentions newer appliances and vinyl flooring, the presence of original jalousie windows, wood paneling, and an unfinished garage indicates that major systems and aesthetics are likely over 20-30 years old and require modernization.
The property includes a detached garage and a 100 sq. ft. independent laundry room that offers excellent potential for conversion into a home office, creative studio, or hobby room.
Situated with effortless access to the 15 and 805 freeways and the 24th Street trolley station, this home provides a highly convenient location for commuters and travelers.
The 5,000 sq. ft. lot features a long covered driveway, a spacious backyard patio for entertaining, and mature fruit trees, maximizing the utility of the outdoor space.
At just 936 sq. ft. for a three-bedroom layout, the interior living spaces may feel cramped and lack the storage capacity desired by modern buyers.
The 3-bedroom to 1-bathroom ratio is a significant drawback for families and may limit the property's appeal compared to homes with a second half or full bath.
