Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, the home is well-maintained but largely dated. While the white oak flooring is an excellent upgrade, the kitchen features original cabinetry and older tile, and the description explicitly mentions 'original features' needing modern touches. The presence of popcorn ceilings and older window styles confirms it falls into the 'Fair' category requiring cosmetic and functional updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11325, living area = 1275.
The property features a rare 11,325-square-foot flat lot backing to a barranca, offering exceptional privacy with no rear neighbors and ample space for outdoor expansion or an ADU.
Beautiful white oak flooring and upgraded windows provide a warm, modern foundation, complemented by practical updates like a new garage door and completed Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) requirements.
The kitchen and other interior elements are described as original, indicating that the home will require additional capital investment to bring it up to contemporary standards.
A significant price reduction from the original $979,000 list price suggests the property faced initial difficulty in the market due to its size-to-price ratio and required updates.
