More Insights

Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this property has been well-maintained over the years and features some updates like dual-pane vinyl windows and one remodeled full bathroom. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with original-style oak cabinetry, tile countertops, older appliances, and worn linoleum flooring. The primary ensuite bathroom is also very outdated with a pedestal sink and older fixtures. The carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms are worn and would require replacement. While functional, the property requires substantial cosmetic and functional renovations, particularly in the kitchen and primary bathroom, to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'sweat equity' potential mentioned in the description. It is not in disrepair or unsafe, but many major components are outdated.

About this home

Tucked within a darling community of single-family homes on cul-de-sac streets, this special property has been lovingly held by the same family for 60 years and offers exceptional potential to create something truly your own. An inviting opportunity to build sweat equity, the home provides a wonderful canvas for personalization and transformation into your dream residence. An expansive front yard features lush green grass, manicured hedges, and a charming neighborhood little library that reflects the friendliness of this neighborhood. A long driveway and stately brick walkway lead to a covered front porch and into the entry hall, which opens to the main living space. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and enhanced by sliding glass doors that open out to the private backyard. Flowing seamlessly into the dining room, the layout continues into a cozy breakfast nook defined by a classic spindle pony wall with built-in cabinetry. The kitchen enjoys a pleasant backyard outlook through a window above the sink and is well equipped with abundant oak cabinetry, an electric cooktop, oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and direct access to the laundry room, which leads outside. A quintessential midcentury breezeway connects the home to the detached two-car garage, complete with a paneled door and automatic opener. The garage presents strong potential for conversion to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income opportunities. The backyard features a brick patio for outdoor entertaining, generous lawn space, flowering hedges, and elevated neighborhood views over treetops, with snow-capped mountains visible in the distance, creating a sense of openness and privacy. Back inside, a hallway with ample storage, including a coat closet and linen cabinetry, leads to the remodeled full bathroom with upgraded fixtures, a newer vanity, and a tiled tub and shower enclosure serving the living space as well as two secondary bedrooms. Your primary bedroom features an ample closet, charming window seat, and a dedicated ensuite bathroom. Additional improvements include dual-pane vinyl windows. Enjoy a remarkably private setting while remaining conveniently close to shopping, dining, parks, freeway access, and a short drive to the beach. This is a rare opportunity to create an ideal home in a truly sweet and established neighborhood.

Pros & Cons

Pros

ADU Potential: The detached two-car garage offers strong potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing opportunities for extended family, guest accommodation, or rental income.
Desirable Neighborhood & Location: Situated in a darling, friendly, and established cul-de-sac community, the property offers a remarkably private setting while being conveniently close to shopping, dining, parks, freeway access, and a short drive to the beach.
Opportunity for Customization & Equity: Presented as a 'wonderful canvas for personalization' and an 'inviting opportunity to build sweat equity,' the home allows new owners to tailor it to their dream residence and potentially increase its value.
Generous Outdoor Space & Views: Features an expansive front yard, a private backyard with a brick patio, generous lawn space, flowering hedges, and elevated neighborhood views over treetops, including distant snow-capped mountains.
Recent Key Upgrades: The property benefits from a recently remodeled full bathroom with upgraded fixtures and a newer vanity, as well as the installation of dual-pane vinyl windows, enhancing comfort and efficiency.

Cons

Dated Kitchen: The kitchen, equipped with 'abundant oak cabinetry' and an 'electric cooktop,' appears to be original or older, suggesting it may require significant renovation to meet modern aesthetic and functional preferences.
Need for Further Renovation: While offering 'sweat equity' potential, the property's 1961 build year and emphasis on 'personalization' imply that substantial investment and effort will be needed to update various areas beyond the remodeled bathroom to contemporary standards.
Older Infrastructure: Built in 1961, and with no mention of updates to major systems like HVAC (specifically, no central AC is mentioned), plumbing, or electrical, these components are likely older and may incur future maintenance or replacement costs.
