More Insights

Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: While the kitchen and one bathroom have been extensively and recently updated with modern finishes, the property, built in 1951, still presents significant outdated elements. The second bathroom is very dated, featuring original or very old tile and fixtures. Some flooring, like the red carpet, is also outdated. Crucially, the property lacks central air conditioning, which is a major system deficiency. These factors indicate that while some areas are excellent, the overall property requires substantial updates and installations beyond minor repairs to meet modern standards, placing it in the 'Fair' category.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1898, other record living area = 1412.
Age of Construction: Built in 1951, the property's age might imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roofing) that could require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the noted 'well-maintained' status.
Limited Specific Modernization: While the kitchen is updated, the description lacks details on modernization efforts for other key areas like bathrooms, flooring, or windows, which might be dated compared to newer constructions.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which is a significant consideration in California's climate and could necessitate a new installation for buyer comfort.
