Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1959 and owned by the same family for over 60 years, this property requires substantial renovation to meet contemporary standards. The kitchen features highly outdated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and dated linoleum flooring, necessitating a complete overhaul. Both bathrooms exhibit similar conditions with very old vanities, fixtures, and flooring. Throughout the home, the carpet appears worn and dated, and light fixtures are original or very old. While the structure appears sound, the interior finishes and major systems are significantly past their expected lifespan, requiring a major investment for modernization and rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15849, living area = 1760.
Desirable Single-Story Layout: The property features a rare single-story design, highly sought after for accessibility and ease of living.
Generous Lot Size & Customization Potential: A large 15,849 sqft lot and spacious rooms provide significant opportunities for expansion, landscaping, or personalized upgrades.
Prime Location & Connectivity: Excellent proximity to an elementary school (0.057 miles), dining, shopping, freeway access, and the Sprinter Station enhances daily convenience and connectivity.
Western Views Potential: The description notes 'views to west,' suggesting potential for desirable sunset or distant views.
Ample Garage & Storage Space: A '2 plus cars' garage offers substantial space for vehicles, storage, and a dedicated workspace.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Property Age & Renovation Scope: Built in 1959 and with one owner for over 60 years, the home likely requires significant investment for modernization of systems and interior finishes to meet contemporary standards.
Potential for Outdated Systems/Finishes: The long-term single ownership and age strongly suggest that interior finishes, appliances, and core systems may be original or minimally updated, necessitating substantial renovation.
Mixed School Ratings: While some nearby schools are well-rated, the presence of a 3-rated middle school (Rancho Minerva Middle School) could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier school performance across all levels.
