Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1958 Mid-Century Modern home is well-maintained and charming but remains largely in its original state. While the hardwood floors are a significant asset and the property shows pride of ownership, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated 1950s tiling, older cabinetry, and vintage appliances. It meets the 'fair' criteria as a property over 20 years old that is functional but shows clear signs of being outdated by modern standards.
This 1958 hillside home features authentic Mid-Century Modern elements, including original hardwood floors, extensive built-in cabinetry, and well-preserved retro tile bathrooms that offer unique vintage appeal.
The property boasts a vibrant garden with mature citrus trees, a Hawaiian-inspired side yard with a fountain, and private seating areas designed to capture coastal breezes and sunsets.
A detached garage converted into a creative lounge and a generous driveway with RV/trailer parking provide exceptional flexibility for hobbies, guests, or additional storage.
With only two bedrooms, the home may have limited appeal for growing families or buyers requiring a dedicated home office without sacrificing guest space.
While charming, the 1950s infrastructure and original features may necessitate updates to systems or finishes to meet the expectations of modern luxury buyers at this price point.
