Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, this property retains much of its original character but is significantly outdated by modern standards. The kitchen features older cabinetry and vintage appliances, while the bathrooms and 'jacuzzi room' show styles from several decades ago. While the home appears functional and maintained, the wood paneling, older carpeting, and dated light fixtures indicate a need for cosmetic and likely systemic updates. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged home that is habitable but requires modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 108900, living area = 1808.
The expansive 2.5-acre lot provides unparalleled space for future developments such as an ADU, pool, tennis court, or large workshops for car collectors and contractors.
The property is fully walled and gated, offering a rare level of privacy, security, and an 'estate' feel that distinguishes it from standard desert listings.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Built in 1957, the property likely requires significant modernization of its core systems and interior finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards and realize its full potential.
The local public schools are rated between 3 and 4, which may be a drawback for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
