Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1930 and explicitly marketed as a fixer-upper, the property is over 90 years old with mostly original features. The kitchen and bathroom are dated with original cabinetry and old fixtures, and the exterior shows visible wear on the siding and foundation. While dual-pane windows have been added, the reliance on window AC units and the overall 'trip back in time' condition necessitates a full rehab.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 1010.
The property features 5 acres of perimeter-fenced land with a private water well and rare paved street access, offering significant utility and privacy in a desert setting.
Built in 1930, the home retains original architectural details like wood siding and handcrafted flooring, providing a unique 'blank canvas' for a high-value renovation.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
As a designated fixer-upper, the property requires substantial additional investment to modernize the 1930s systems and finishes to meet current living standards.
At just 1,010 square feet, the interior living space is relatively small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking a more spacious primary residence.
