Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960, the property has received some cosmetic updates including newer LVP flooring and fresh paint. However, it remains dated with popcorn ceilings, wall/window AC units indicating a lack of modern central HVAC, and budget-grade bathroom finishes. The exterior shows significant age with moss/debris on the roof and dated siding, suggesting that while livable, the home requires modernization of major systems and general updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11474, living area = 2714.
With a rare 7-bedroom and 5-bathroom configuration, this property offers incredible flexibility for large families, co-living arrangements, or dedicated home office spaces.
Situated in the highly desirable Mt. Helix area, the home provides excellent proximity to local parks, shopping, dining, and major freeway access, ensuring strong long-term value.
Fitting 7 bedrooms into 2,714 square feet suggests that individual room dimensions may be smaller than average, which could feel cramped for buyers prioritizing spacious suites.
