Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, this home is well-maintained but significantly outdated, fitting the 'fair' criteria of being aged with only occasional minor updates. While the kitchen features newer granite countertops, the cabinetry, wall oven, cooktop, and fluorescent lighting are dated. Throughout the home, the worn carpeting, popcorn ceilings, and original-style fixtures indicate that while functional, the property requires comprehensive cosmetic and system modernization, as reflected in the 'blank canvas' description.
Ideally situated within walking distance to Mountain View Elementary and Sierra Middle School, as well as local parks and churches, offering high convenience for families.
The four-bedroom layout with two bedrooms on each level provides excellent versatility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or a private home office.
The property sits on a spacious 6,534 sq. ft. lot and includes a unique backyard putting green, providing a great foundation for outdoor entertainment and recreation.
Described as a 'blank canvas,' the home likely requires a substantial investment in cosmetic and functional renovations to bring it up to modern standards.
Built in 1963, the property may have aging systems such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC that could necessitate costly repairs or upgrades during the renovation process.
