Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (35 years old), the property is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features original oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and older white appliances that exceed the 20-year threshold for modern updates. While the exterior shows good curb appeal, the interior finishes and likely the original systems require modernization.
As a rare single-story residence with a popular floor plan, this home offers exceptional accessibility and appeal for a wide demographic, including retirees and families seeking a stair-free environment.
The property is situated on wide streets in a desirable neighborhood and features 'sweet curb appeal,' which enhances its marketability and provides a welcoming first impression.
Located just 0.35 miles from John E. Steinbeck Elementary School (rated 6/10), the home offers convenient access to one of the higher-performing primary schools in the immediate area.
While the local elementary school is a highlight, the surrounding middle and high schools have lower ratings (ranging from 2 to 5), which may be a deterrent for education-focused buyers.
Built in 1989, the property may require capital investment for cosmetic or system updates to align with modern buyer expectations and justify the premium list price.
