More Insights
Built in 1978 (48 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1978, benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as new laminate flooring and scraped ceilings, which are positive. However, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older white appliances, and basic countertops. The primary bathroom is significantly outdated with gold-toned fixtures, an older vanity, and tile. The second bathroom, while functional, also shows signs of age. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready in terms of cleanliness and basic functionality, the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Single-Level Layout: The property offers a rare single-level floor plan within the sought-after Shady Hollow Community, appealing to a broad range of buyers seeking convenience and accessibility.
Modern Interior Updates: Recent upgrades including new laminate flooring and scraped ceilings provide a fresh, contemporary aesthetic and reduce immediate renovation needs for the buyer.

Comprehensive Community Amenities & HOA Benefits: Residents benefit from a pool, spa, and tennis court, along with HOA-covered exterior painting every 10 years, offering a low-maintenance, resort-like lifestyle.
Strategic Location & Top Schools: Proximity to the 57 freeway, shopping, dining, Cal State Fullerton, and highly-rated public schools (all rated 8) ensures convenience and strong educational opportunities.
Cons
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1978, the home's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require future updates, despite cosmetic renovations.
Monthly HOA Dues: The $225 monthly association fee, while covering some maintenance and amenities, adds a recurring cost to homeownership that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property may not meet the needs of larger families or those requiring additional space for a home office or guest rooms, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
