More Insights
Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: This 1954-built home has undergone significant recent renovations, including a new roof (March 2024), new quartz kitchen counters, new laminate flooring throughout, and a fully updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances. The bathroom also appears completely renovated with modern tile and fixtures. These updates make the property move-in ready and aesthetically pleasing. However, the presence of window AC units indicates a lack of central air conditioning, and while the cosmetic updates are extensive, the underlying systems of a 1954 home may not all be new or up to current 'excellent' standards, thus placing it in the 'Good' category.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent Major Capital Improvements: A brand-new roof (March 2024) and recently painted exterior significantly reduce immediate maintenance costs and provide peace of mind for the buyer.
Modernized Interior Finishes: The installation of new quartz kitchen counters and new laminate flooring throughout offers a fresh, contemporary aesthetic and low-maintenance living.
Accessible Single-Story Design: The 'no steps' single-story layout enhances accessibility and broadens appeal to a diverse range of buyers, including those seeking ease of mobility.
Abundant Natural Light: Numerous windows allow ample natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
Convenient Commuter Location: Easy access to Highway 80 provides excellent connectivity for commuters and convenient travel throughout the Sacramento area.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 705 square feet, the property offers a compact living area, which may be restrictive for larger households or those desiring more expansive rooms.
Single Bathroom Configuration: The presence of only one bathroom could pose practical challenges and inconvenience for multiple occupants or guests.
Potential for Older Systems/Lack of Modern Amenities: As a 1954 build, while cosmetic updates are present, the property may still retain older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and lacks explicit mention of a modern HVAC system, which could be a consideration in Sacramento's climate.
