Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1953, this home has been well-maintained but shows significant signs of age in its interior finishes. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, tiled countertops and backsplash, and older white appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit outdated tiled surfaces, vanities, and fixtures. While the property is functional and appears structurally sound, and the exterior seems well-kept, the key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial aesthetic renovations to meet current market expectations and modern standards. The flooring is a mix of older tiles and what appears to be newer carpet, but the overall impression is that of a home that has not undergone major renovations in the last 15-30 years, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Convenient Location & Accessibility: Situated in a quiet neighborhood with immediate access to East Lake shopping center amenities (25 shops, restaurants) and major freeways (152, 129).
Family-Oriented Community: Located within the desirable PV Unified school district, offering proximity to multiple schools for ease of family logistics.
Flexible Occupancy & Customization: The property is presented as 'move-in ready' while also providing an 'open and clean slate' for future design and personalization.
Charming & Functional Features: Boasts an inviting open living/dining room, two cozy fireplaces, a covered front entry, and a private, sanctuary-like backyard.
Generous Parking & Storage: Includes a detached 2-car garage with additional space and a long driveway, providing ample parking and storage solutions.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1953, the home may necessitate future investments in system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical) or aesthetic renovations to align with contemporary preferences.
Absence of Specified Modern Renovations: While well-maintained, the description does not highlight recent significant updates to key areas like kitchen, bathrooms, or major structural components, which could be a consideration for some buyers.
Lack of Cooling System: The property description mentions fireplaces for heating but does not indicate the presence of an air conditioning or cooling system, potentially impacting comfort during warmer periods.
