Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1956, this home features a very dated kitchen with original-style wood cabinets, old laminate/tile flooring, and an outdated built-in oven. The bathrooms also appear to be largely original or last renovated 30-50+ years ago, with basic vanities and lighting. While the living areas have well-maintained hardwood floors and some charming mid-century elements like exposed beams and a brick fireplace, the critical wet areas (kitchen and bathrooms) require substantial renovation to meet modern standards. Furthermore, the property lacks central air conditioning, which is a significant comfort issue in Glendale, and the overall age suggests major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may need updating. Despite being 'well kept' in terms of cleanliness, the property's core components are significantly outdated and require substantial rehabilitation.

Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1640, other record living area = 1530.
Age of Property & System Updates: Built in 1956, the home's age suggests potential for future maintenance or updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly detailed as recently renovated.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not indicate the presence of a central cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern during Glendale's hot summer months.
Limited Modern Upgrades: While well-kept, the description highlights classic features rather than extensive modern renovations, which might not meet the expectations of buyers seeking contemporary finishes throughout.
