More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1960, has undergone significant functional upgrades including newer HVAC, water heater, upgraded 220 amp electrical, and double-pane windows. The bathrooms are beautifully and tastefully remodeled with modern fixtures and finishes. While the kitchen features newer appliances (dishwasher, oven), the original wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and flooring are dated in style. Overall, the home is move-in ready and well-maintained, but the kitchen's aesthetic prevents an 'Excellent' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category due to the extensive system updates and renovated bathrooms.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 6.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive upgrades, the home was originally built in 1960. While many systems are new, potential buyers might have concerns about the underlying infrastructure or components not explicitly mentioned as replaced.
Limited View: The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view. While pleasant, it lacks the premium panoramic or scenic vistas (e.g., ocean, city lights) that some buyers in this price range might seek, potentially limiting its appeal to those prioritizing a dramatic vista.
Multi-Level Layout: The two-story design with a 'step-down living room' might not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-level living for accessibility or personal preference, or who find split-level designs less modern.
