More Insights
Built in 1936 (89 years old).
Condition: Built in 1936, this property is aged. While it benefits from recently updated laminate flooring, the kitchen is significantly outdated with old appliances (coil-burner stove, older refrigerator), dated cabinets, and countertops, requiring a full renovation. The presence of a portable evaporative cooler suggests a lack of central cooling, which is a major drawback in a desert climate. Overall, the home is functional but shows clear signs of age and outdated features, necessitating minor to moderate updates and repairs, especially in the kitchen and likely bathrooms.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive & Usable Land: The property boasts a 'huge lot totally fenced' of 382,021 sqft (approx. 8.77 acres), offering exceptional privacy, space for various uses (e.g., gardening, animals, expansion), and a rare commodity in many markets.
Rural Lifestyle Appeal: Positioned as an 'oasis in the desert' with a 'quiet environment' and 'full of trees and a chicken coop,' it strongly appeals to buyers seeking a tranquil, self-sufficient, or agricultural lifestyle.
Recent Interior Updates: The mention of 'updated lately with laminate floors and extra room' indicates some modernization has already occurred, potentially reducing immediate cosmetic renovation expenses for a buyer.
Development Potential: The description 'too much potential and the room for you to dream big' combined with the large lot suggests significant opportunities for customization, adding structures, or enhancing the property to suit specific needs.
Strategic Rural Access: Despite its rural setting, the property is 'just minutes from the 40 freeway and just 20 minutes from Barstow,' providing a good balance of seclusion with reasonable access to major transportation routes and essential services.
Cons
Unverified Permits: The critical note '(Buyer to verify permits)' regarding the 5 bedrooms and 3 baths indicates potential unpermitted additions or modifications, posing significant legal, financial, and insurance risks for a buyer.
Advanced Age of Structure: Built in 1936, the property is 88 years old, which typically implies a higher likelihood of needing extensive repairs, system upgrades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and potential for hazardous materials (e.g., lead paint, asbestos).
Conflicting Property Data: A major discrepancy exists between the description ('5 bedrooms 3 baths') and the structured data ('beds:1 baths:2'), creating confusion, impacting accurate valuation, and requiring immediate clarification before proceeding.
