* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993 (33 years old), the property is dated with original bathroom vanities, laminate counters, and older carpeting. While the home appears functional and features some updated laminate flooring, the age of the systems and the lack of significant kitchen/bath renovations place it in the fair category requiring cosmetic updates.
The property is ideally situated within walking distance to Merced College and just five miles from UC Merced, offering significant appeal for faculty, students, or savvy rental investors.
A rare 3-car garage for a home of this size provides exceptional value, offering ample space for multiple vehicles, a home workshop, or additional storage needs.
Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home benefits from minimal through-traffic, enhanced privacy, and a safer environment compared to main thoroughfares.
Built in 1993 with no specific mention of recent renovations, the interior may require cosmetic or functional updates to align with modern buyer preferences.
The current list price of $369,000 is notably lower than the 2022 sale price of $399,500, which may reflect a shift in local market conditions or the need for property repairs.
