More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: This 1955-built home has undergone significant and high-quality renovations in key areas. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including double convection ovens and a 6-burner Fisher & Paykel stove), and granite countertops, making it highly functional and appealing. The primary bathroom is extensively updated to a spa-like standard with a double shower, oversized soaking tub, modern vanity with lighted mirrors, and wood-look tile. Other updates include dual-paned windows and a tankless water heater. Hardwood floors are present in most living areas and bedrooms, and are well-maintained. However, one of the bathrooms retains its original mid-century pink tile, sink, and toilet, which, while clean, is clearly outdated and prevents the property from being considered 'Excellent' (where all components are virtually new). Overall, it is move-in ready with modern conveniences and well-maintained systems, fitting the 'Good' category.

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.
Potential for Dated Infrastructure: Built in 1955, despite visible updates, some underlying systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing) may still be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Absence of Mentioned Central Air Conditioning: The property description highlights dual-paned windows and a tankless water heater but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort consideration in the Southern California climate.
Specific Architectural Style: While the 'Mid Century California Ranch' style is desirable to many, its specific aesthetic and 'classic details' might not align with all buyers' preferences, particularly those seeking a more contemporary or different architectural design.
