More Insights
Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1964, has received significant cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen, which features dark shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher visible), and modern recessed lighting. The main living areas also have updated tile flooring. However, while these updates make the home move-in ready and aesthetically pleasing, they appear to be 10-15 years old rather than recent, and the underlying structure and major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original to the 1964 build, or older updates, as suggested by the MLS's 'Age of Construction' weakness. The bathrooms are not clearly visible but are presumed to be updated to a similar standard as the kitchen. The presence of older style ceiling fans and a stone fireplace also indicates that not all elements have been recently modernized. The lack of a specified cooling system is a notable concern for a home of this age in Riverside. Overall, the home is well-maintained and functional, but its age and the nature of the renovations (more cosmetic than a full system overhaul) place it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it's aged but maintained, with functional components that show signs of being outdated.

Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1424.

Single-Story Layout: As a single-story home, it offers broad appeal, including accessibility for all ages and a convenient, easy-to-navigate floor plan.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Construction: Built in 1964, the property may have original systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that could require significant updates or maintenance in the near future, potentially incurring additional costs.
Potential for Dated Interiors: While the kitchen is noted as open concept, other areas of a 1964-built home might retain original or older finishes and fixtures, which may not align with all modern buyer preferences and could necessitate further renovation.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning). Given Riverside's hot climate, the absence of this amenity could be a significant comfort concern and a potential drawback for buyers.
