Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this 36-year-old home is exceptionally well-maintained by the original owner but largely retains its original architectural character and finishes. While the kitchen features updated appliances and the loft includes a newer ductless AC unit, the core components—such as the tile countertops, cabinetry, flooring, and bathroom fixtures—show signs of being outdated relative to modern standards. It fits the 'fair' criteria perfectly as a property built within the 25-40 year range that is functional and cared for but lacks a comprehensive recent renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11244, living area = 1851.
The lower level boasts a one-of-a-kind vintage 1950s diner with authentic salvaged pieces from a historic Los Angeles diner, providing an unparalleled conversation piece and hosting space.
The custom prow-style design features soaring ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass that floods the home with natural light while framing serene forest views.
The specific 1950s diner theme and custom wall murals are very niche and may require a specific buyer or additional investment to neutralize for broader appeal.
Air conditioning is limited to a ductless unit in the primary loft, which may leave the main level and secondary bedrooms less comfortable during peak summer temperatures.
