Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1955, this home is well-maintained but features a 'vintage' kitchen and dated bathroom fixtures. While it has functional upgrades like central HVAC and granite countertops, the overall interior finishes, including the tile flooring and cabinetry, are likely over 20 years old and require modernization.
The home features highly desirable mid-century elements including vaulted ceilings, a classic brick fireplace, and a vintage Western-Holly oven, offering unique character that appeals to niche buyers.
Situated on a generous 6,500 sqft corner lot, the property offers mature landscaping, fruit trees, and a private lattice-covered patio, providing superior curb appeal and outdoor living space.
Ideally located near the Historic Orange Plaza and major medical facilities, the home also features essential modern upgrades like central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
At 1,053 square feet for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration, the interior living spaces may feel compact and restrictive for larger families or those seeking spacious common areas.
While the vintage kitchen and original-style bathrooms add charm, they may require significant capital investment for buyers desiring a more contemporary or modernized aesthetic.
