Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (35 years old), the property is well-maintained with recent cosmetic improvements like fresh paint and laminate flooring. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated, featuring original oak cabinetry and tile countertops that are over 20 years old, placing it in the 'Fair' category as it requires modernization despite being move-in ready.
Situated in the desirable Hillsborough Manor, this home offers access to premium amenities including pools, spas, and clubhouses for a remarkably low $140 monthly association fee.
The nearly 8,000-square-foot lot features professional brick landscaping and a large covered patio, providing significant outdoor space and privacy that is rare for the area.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights, and an elegant spiral staircase create a bright, open, and sophisticated interior atmosphere that maximizes the home's 2,066 square feet.
The property listing indicates no significant views, which may be a drawback for buyers comparing this to other premium hillside residences in the La Mirada area.
While well-maintained with fresh paint, the 1989 construction and 'potential to personalize' suggest that some original finishes and the layout may require additional investment to meet modern luxury standards.
