Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, this property is aged but appears to have been maintained with some occasional updates. The kitchen features a mix of newer stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher) alongside older, dark cabinets and a dated black range. One bathroom shows a more recent vanity update, while the other appears older and more basic. The dark laminate/engineered wood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms is a positive update. However, the exterior deck shows significant wear and peeling paint, indicating deferred maintenance. The presence of wall heaters suggests a lack of central HVAC, and the overall style, particularly in the kitchen and one bathroom, is functional but outdated, requiring minor updates to enhance appeal and modernize the space.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10019, living area = 1404.
Situated in Idyllwild, a popular mountain community known for its natural beauty and tranquil environment, appealing to those seeking a retreat.
The property boasts desirable 'Mountain(s), Peek-A-Boo, Trees/Woods' views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a serene backdrop.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Built in 1976, the home is nearly 50 years old, which may imply the need for updates to systems, finishes, or potential for deferred maintenance.
The requirement for 24-hour notice for showings and the tenant's departure only prior to close of escrow can complicate and delay the sales process and immediate buyer occupancy.
Please give 24 hrs notice as home is currently rented, tenant will leave prior to close of escrow.
