Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1991, this property is 33 years old and largely retains its original 1990s aesthetic. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, tile countertops, older white appliances, and vinyl flooring. Bathrooms also show similar dated finishes with basic vanities and vinyl flooring. While the property appears clean and functional, it has not undergone significant modern renovations and requires minor updates to bring it to current standards, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The wood-burning stove and basic light fixtures further indicate an older, un-renovated condition, aligning with the 'Fair' category for properties built 25-40 years ago with no major renovations.
Positioned as one of the least expensive residential properties in the Idyllwild/Pine Cove market, with a listing price below the estimated market value, making it highly attractive for budget-conscious buyers or investors.
Explicitly marketed as ideal for both first-time homebuyers seeking an affordable entry into homeownership and investors looking for an income-producing rental property.
Boasts a spacious living room with a vaulted, sloped ceiling and a cozy free-standing wood-burning stove, enhancing its appeal and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
With only 936 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact, which may be a constraint for growing families or those desiring more expansive rooms.
The lot size of 3,920 square feet is on the smaller side for a single-family residence, potentially offering limited outdoor privacy or space for significant landscaping/expansion.
Built in 1991, the property is over 30 years old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, heating) may be original and could require maintenance, repair, or replacement in the near future.
