Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and clean, but it fits the 'fair' criteria due to its age and the timing of its last major updates. Built in 1949, the home features a kitchen and interior finishes (such as oak cabinetry, vinyl flooring, and black appliances) that appear to date back 20-30 years. While functional and move-in ready, the style is outdated by modern standards. The presence of split units indicates some system updates, but the overall aesthetic and component age align with a property that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a recent comprehensive renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19275, living area = 2404.
Built in 1949 with lumber from the historic Hughes Mill, the home features unique wood walls and ceilings that offer a rare, rustic character and timeless Sierra foothill charm.
The property sits on nearly half an acre and includes a charming pear orchard and covered patio, providing a serene natural setting and ample space for outdoor living.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =19275, other record lot size in square feet = 19344.
Given its 1949 construction, the property may require updates to older systems or specialized maintenance to preserve its historic wood-heavy interior and structural integrity.
