* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, this property is maintained but shows signs of age consistent with a 'starter home' or investment property. While the exterior appears functional, the 74-year-old structure likely features outdated interior systems, a single bathroom, and original or older finishes that require minor updates to meet modern standards.
Priced competitively at $279,900, this property serves as an excellent entry-level opportunity for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-cost acquisition in the California market.
The three-bedroom configuration in an established residential area makes this an ideal investment property with strong appeal for local tenants and a potentially high rent-to-price ratio.
The 5,225 square foot lot provides ample outdoor space for recreation or potential future expansions, offering more land value than many modern high-density developments.
At only 910 square feet for a three-bedroom home, the individual room sizes are likely very small, which may limit furniture options and overall living comfort.
The presence of only one bathroom for a three-bedroom residence is a notable drawback for families and can be a significant bottleneck for daily functionality and resale value.
Great starter home or investment property.
