Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1967 with interior elements (specifically the bathroom cabinetry and fixtures) appearing to be from a 20-30 year old renovation. While the home is well-maintained and staged, the kitchen and baths are dated, and the listing's mention of 'conceptual renovation plans' indicates the property is primed for significant updates rather than being in move-in ready 'Good' condition.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 66211, living area = 3188.
Situated on a rare 1.52-acre fully usable lot in the prestigious Hope Ranch, providing exceptional privacy and vast space for outdoor activities.
