Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the property is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older renovations exceeding 20 years. The lack of central HVAC (utilizing window units and a wall furnace) and older cabinetry/fixtures indicate the home needs modern updates.
The detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom bonus area provides exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, a private home office, or potential rental income opportunities.
A private backyard featuring a sparkling pool and generous lot size creates a perfect environment for entertaining and enjoying the Southern California lifestyle.
The property is beautifully maintained with updated windows, a newer roof, and strong curb appeal, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a new buyer.
The reliance on window A/C units and a wall furnace rather than a modern central heating and cooling system may be a drawback for buyers seeking modern climate efficiency.
At approximately 1,118 square feet for a three-bedroom residence, the main living areas may feel constrained for families requiring more spacious indoor environments.
