* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with key functional upgrades including a new roof, new water heater, and central HVAC. However, the interior finishes—specifically the 1950s-era layout with older oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and vintage bathroom fixtures—show significant signs of being outdated. While the home has been cared for, it lacks the modern renovations required for a 'good' rating and aligns with the 'fair' criteria of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but requiring cosmetic updates.
The property features a brand-new roof and water heater, along with central air and heat, providing immediate peace of mind and reducing near-term maintenance costs for the buyer.
The home boasts desirable mid-century design elements, including open-beam ceilings and a classic brick fireplace, which add unique aesthetic appeal and a sense of spaciousness.
Situated in a sought-after area bordering Orange County, the home offers excellent proximity to the La Mirada Regional Park, Splash Aquatics Center, and the Theatre for the Performing Arts.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
While functional and well-maintained, the 1950s-era oak cabinetry and overall interior finishes may require cosmetic modernization to appeal to buyers seeking a contemporary aesthetic.
Given the 1955 construction date, the property may have original plumbing or electrical components that could necessitate future upgrades despite the recent roof and water heater replacements.
