More Insights
Built in 1944 (81 years old).
Condition: Built in 1944, this property has received significant recent cosmetic updates, including new rigid core waterproof plank flooring throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, new window blinds, and a new stove and vent cover in the kitchen. The bathroom also features a freshly glazed bathtub. These updates make the home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. However, the kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathroom vanity, and light fixtures retain an older, dated style, and the home relies on a wall heater rather than central HVAC. While not a full, extensive renovation, the recent improvements elevate its condition beyond 'Fair' by addressing immediate aesthetic and functional needs.

Recent Cosmetic Upgrades: The property benefits from recent interior and exterior paint, new rigid core waterproof plank flooring, window blinds, a new stove, and updated landscaping, making it largely move-in ready.
Prime Location: Strategically located with convenient access to parks, schools, shopping centers, and major freeways, enhancing its desirability and daily convenience.
Detached Garage & Ample Parking: A detached garage combined with a long driveway provides abundant parking options and potential for additional storage or workshop space.

Cons
Limited Living Space: With only 808 square feet, the interior living space is quite compact, which may be a constraint for buyers seeking more room or planning for family expansion.
Older Construction: Built in 1944, the home's age suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may require future upgrades, despite recent cosmetic improvements.
