Condition Rating
Good
This 1955-built home has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated with modern tiling and fixtures. Flooring throughout consists of well-maintained laminate wood and clean tiles. The exterior and backyard are also well-kept with modern amenities like a pool, spa, and EV charging. While the property's age (1955) suggests potential for older core systems and the description implies a lack of central air conditioning (a notable weakness in Southern California), the visible updates are substantial and appear to be within the last 5-15 years, aligning with a 'Good' condition rating.

Outdoor Entertainment Oasis: A private backyard oasis features a sparkling pool with a new vinyl fence, a relaxing spa, a built-in gas line for BBQ and pizza oven, and an expansive patio, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.
Flexible & Well-Equipped Interior: The home offers a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a flexible floor plan including a bonus room with its own AC, perfect for an office or playroom.

Charming Traditional Aesthetics: Vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and French doors leading to a charming courtyard contribute to the home's traditional appeal and character.

Cons

Limited Cooling System: The description specifies 'its own AC' for the bonus room, implying a lack of central air conditioning throughout the main living areas, which could be a significant drawback in Southern California's climate.
Age of Home & Potential System Updates: Built in 1955, the property, despite some upgrades, may have original or aging core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or significant investment.
Mixed School Performance: While some schools are well-rated, several nearby elementary and middle schools show lower ratings (e.g., a middle school with a rating of 2), which might be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
