Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1955, making it 69 years old. While it features 'newer carpet' and 'ceramic tile throughout,' and the kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting, the kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with both bathrooms (vanities, fixtures, and lighting), exhibit styles consistent with renovations done 15-30 years ago. The home is well-maintained and functional, but its major components show signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates for a contemporary aesthetic.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: The property is situated in an 'Exceptional Riverside neighborhood,' indicating a sought-after and stable community.
Generous Lot Size: Boasting a large 7841 sq ft lot, the property offers ample outdoor space for landscaping, recreation, or potential expansion.
Functional Garage: The 'drive-through 2-car garage' provides superior utility, offering convenient access, extra parking, or workshop potential.
Flexible Living Space: An 'additional room can be used as an office or 4th bedroom,' adding significant versatility and value to accommodate various lifestyle needs.
Updated Interior Features: The 'open kitchen with a breakfast bar' and 'newer ceramic tile and carpet throughout' provide modern appeal and reduce immediate renovation costs for buyers.
Cons
Age of Property Systems: Built in 1955, the home may have original or aging core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant maintenance or costly upgrades in the near future.
Compact Interior for Bedroom Count: With 1122 sqft for 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the interior living spaces and individual room sizes may feel relatively compact, potentially limiting comfort for larger households.
Lack of Specific View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which might be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic outlooks and could impact its market appeal compared to homes with desirable views.
