More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this property has received several recent cosmetic updates, including new kitchen appliances (dishwasher, stove, sink, disposal), fresh paint in key areas, and newer carpet in bedrooms. The kitchen features granite countertops and updated cabinets, while bathrooms have updated tiling and vanities. However, these updates are largely cosmetic and do not constitute an extensive renovation of the entire property's major systems. The property still shows signs of its age, particularly with the lack of central air conditioning (only a wall unit visible in one bedroom) and the potential for older core infrastructure. While move-in ready and well-maintained, it falls into the 'fair' category due to its age and the need for more substantial updates to bring major systems up to modern standards.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property & Potential System Obsolescence: Built in 1956, the property's age suggests potential for older core infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic improvements.
Non-Conforming 4th Bedroom: The description notes the fourth bedroom is a 'larger bonus room' that 'could easily be the 4th Br,' implying it may not meet standard bedroom criteria (e.g., lack of closet or proper egress), potentially affecting its functional use or appraisal.
Unspecified HVAC/Cooling System: The listing does not mention the presence or condition of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback in Hemet's climate, particularly for a home of this vintage.
