More Insights
Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: The property has undergone a significant cosmetic renovation within the last 3 years, including the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear modern and in excellent condition with new flooring and fixtures. However, the property was built in 1954, and while cosmetically updated, it lacks central air conditioning (relying on ceiling fans and potentially swamp coolers), uses wall heaters for heating, and the kitchen is missing major appliances. These factors, along with the unconfirmed status of other core systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) from a 1954 build, prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating, despite the recent aesthetic improvements.

Age of Core Systems: Built in 1954, and while cosmetically updated, the description does not specify updates to major underlying systems like plumbing, electrical, or roof, which could lead to future maintenance concerns.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The mention of 'ceiling fans all around' without any reference to central air conditioning suggests this essential feature may be absent, which could be a drawback in Ridgecrest's climate.
Basic Finishes/Amenities: The description as an 'easy home' and focus on functionality rather than luxury might indicate more basic finishes or a lack of premium amenities, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking higher-end features.
