Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely unrenovated in terms of modern style and layout. While it features fresh paint and attractive original hardwood flooring, the kitchen and bathroom are dated, featuring older tile countertops, basic cabinetry, and a 1950s-style utility layout with laundry hookups in the kitchen. The home is functional but shows signs of age and lacks the high-end finishes or system updates required for a higher rating.
The generous 7,000 sqft lot and detached two-car garage with alley access provide an excellent opportunity to build an ADU or guesthouse, significantly maximizing the property's future value.
Situated in a highly desirable pocket of Brea near Arovista Park and minutes from Downtown Brea and the Brea Mall, offering residents easy access to top-tier dining, shopping, and schools.
The home features timeless hardwood flooring and has been freshly painted, offering a clean and inviting atmosphere for first-time buyers looking for a move-in-ready starter home with character.
With only 904 square feet of living space and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the home may feel restrictive for growing families or those requiring dedicated home office space.
Reflecting its 1950s origins, the property features laundry hookups located within the kitchen area, a layout that may require a costly reconfiguration to meet modern lifestyle preferences.
