More Insights

Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this home has been well-maintained with refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint in the main living areas, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated knotty pine cabinets, older appliances (especially the double oven and cooktop), and linoleum flooring. Both bathrooms also show significant signs of being outdated with colored tiled countertops (yellow and pink) and older fixtures. While functional, these key areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Compact Interior Space for Bedroom Count: With 1417 sq ft for 4 bedrooms, the interior living space or individual room sizes might be perceived as compact by some buyers, potentially limiting spaciousness compared to homes with fewer bedrooms or larger footprints.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning (Inferred): The property description does not mention a cooling system, suggesting the absence of central air conditioning, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in La Mesa.
