Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the kitchen and bathrooms have received mid-range updates (granite, stainless appliances, newer vanities) likely within the last 10-15 years, the 1928 structure shows significant age-related wear. Visible cracking in upstairs plaster/drywall, heavily worn original hardwood floors, and the presence of dated wall-mounted heaters rather than modern central HVAC indicate the home needs further modernization and minor repairs to be considered move-in ready by modern standards.
The expansive 6-bedroom layout includes a dedicated mother-in-law suite with a private entrance, providing exceptional flexibility for large families or potential rental income.
Built in 1928, the home blends classic character with modern upgrades, including a remodeled granite kitchen, stainless steel appliances, and individual temperature controls in each bedroom.
The property features a fenced yard with mature lemon and avocado trees, two storage sheds, and a detached garage, offering rare utility and privacy in a central location.
With 44 days on the market and a recent price reduction, the property is experiencing slower absorption, suggesting the initial pricing may have exceeded local market demand.
Despite significant cosmetic and functional updates, the 1928 construction date may necessitate ongoing maintenance of aging structural or systemic components typical of century-old homes.
