Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old and explicitly described as having '70's charm' and an 'outdated interior' requiring 'substantial modernization.' The visible areas, while maintained, feature extensive wood paneling and dated light fixtures consistent with its age. Crucially, there are no images of the kitchen or bathrooms, strongly suggesting these critical areas are original or have only received very minor, dated updates. To meet contemporary standards, especially in a luxury market like Montecito, these areas would require complete renovation and rehabilitation, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria of needing substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
