More Insights

Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1948, the main house features recently remodeled bathrooms and a modern kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble counters, and updated fixtures, as confirmed by the images. The flooring throughout the main living areas is dark hardwood in good condition. The second unit also includes a functional and well-maintained kitchen and bathroom. While the age of the main structure suggests potential for older underlying systems, the visible living spaces are move-in ready and show significant recent investment, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for extensive renovations within 5-15 years and overall well-maintained condition.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2032, other record living area = 1456.
Age of Main Structure: Built in 1948, the main residence, despite recent remodels in key areas, may still have underlying older systems or components that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Niche Market Appeal: As a dedicated 'horse property' with specific equestrian amenities, it caters to a specialized buyer demographic, which could potentially narrow the pool of prospective purchasers.
Ongoing Maintenance Costs: The property's extensive amenities, including a pool, corral, and multiple structures (main house, second unit, potential ADU), will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.
