Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, the home is well-maintained and livable but shows significant signs of being outdated. While the kitchen has received minor cosmetic updates like stone countertops and modern cabinet hardware, it retains an old-fashioned built-in double oven and older cabinetry. The interior features dated elements such as popcorn ceilings and older carpeting, and the listing description explicitly notes the property needs 'TLC and refreshing' to reach its full potential.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8987, living area = 1499.
Elementary School: Alta Vista Elementary School (9/10). High School: West High School (9/10).
Situated in a highly desirable neighborhood, this property is within walking distance of top-rated schools including West High and Victor Elementary, ensuring strong long-term investment value.
The home requires significant TLC and refreshing throughout, meaning buyers will need to budget for immediate updates and repairs to modernize the space.
