Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and well-maintained. It features significant recent updates including a roof replaced within the last 7 years and new flooring installed within the last 5 years. The kitchen has been refreshed with modern granite or quartz countertops, a contemporary hexagonal tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. While the 1950s build is evident in the cabinet styles and the use of window AC units, the extensive custom outdoor concrete work, landscaping, and overall interior cleanliness indicate a home that has been cared for and updated beyond a 'fair' condition.
The property features extensive custom concrete work, a covered outdoor kitchen, and a diverse private orchard with multiple fruit trees, creating a premium space for outdoor entertaining.
Key structural and aesthetic updates, including a roof replaced within the last 7 years and flooring updated within 5 years, reduce the immediate need for major maintenance expenditures.
The inclusion of both a dedicated storage shed and a small garage/shop provides significant utility and hobby space that is rare for a home of this size.
At just 704 square feet, the compact living area may be restrictive for larger families or buyers requiring more spacious indoor accommodations.
Built in 1950, the home may possess older plumbing or electrical systems that could require further modernization to meet current building standards and efficiency expectations.
Custom concrete walkways, patios, and retaining walls welcome you as you enter the fenced and gated front yard. Flowers and multiple fruit trees (lemon, kumquat, lima dulce, pomegranate, avocado and peach trees) greet you with fragrant blossoms. Step from the covered porch to a cozy living room that awaits relaxing evenings. The two bedrooms are perfect for single, a couple or a small family. The kitchen is equipped with all of the necessary amenities (refrigerator, electric range, and microwave hood). The laundry closet/pantry is conveniently located just off the kitchen, with the washer and dryer included. Step out of the back door to another custom-built deck that is surrounded by more custom concrete work. A covered sitting area and outdoor kitchen are perfect for entertaining and family barbecues. The home has undergone some upgrades in recent years, a new roof within 7 years, new floors within 5 years, and various other improvements. A storage shed is located in the back, and a small garage/shop is adjacent to the home. Agents please see private remarks before scheduling or call the listing agent.
