More Insights
Built in 1970 (56 years old).
Condition: This property has undergone an extensive 'top-to-bottom' renovation since 2021, including modern kitchen with premium stainless appliances and quartzite counters, updated bathrooms, new flooring, LED lighting, and fresh paint throughout. This level of renovation, within the last 3 years, makes most components virtually new and move-in ready. However, the property analysis explicitly notes the 'Absence of Central Air Conditioning' as a weakness. While the renovated elements are excellent, the lack of a major system like central AC, which is a current quality standard for comfort in Sacramento's climate, prevents it from achieving an 'Excellent' score. It is a very strong 'Good' due to the high quality and recency of the renovations.
