Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1959, this property shows signs of being well-maintained on the exterior, including a clean pool area. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, features dated oak cabinets and tiled countertops, suggesting a renovation that occurred 15-30 years ago rather than a recent update. The flooring (mixed tile and wood-look laminate) and light fixtures (traditional chandelier) are functional but not modern. While move-in ready, the home requires significant cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen and likely bathrooms (not pictured), to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7405, living area = 1274.
Private Pool & Jacuzzi: Features an exceptional pool and jacuzzi, a highly desirable amenity in Indio's climate, enhanced by safety gates for added security.
Family-Friendly Layout: Explicitly described as 'ideal for large extended family' with 6 bedrooms, catering to a significant demographic seeking ample living space.
Well-Maintained Exterior: The 'well manicured landscape' suggests strong curb appeal and pride of ownership, requiring less immediate exterior work.
High Bedroom Count: Six bedrooms offer significant flexibility for large families, guest accommodations, or dedicated home office spaces.
Enhanced Safety Features: The inclusion of safety gates around the pool and jacuzzi adds a valuable layer of security, particularly for families with children.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 3.
Property Age: Built in 1959, the home is over 60 years old, potentially indicating a need for updates to major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) or interior finishes to meet modern standards.
Compact Interior Space: With 6 bedrooms and 3 baths in only 1274 sqft, individual room sizes may be smaller than expected, potentially feeling cramped for a 'large extended family'.
Listing Price vs. Estimated Value: The current listing price is slightly above the property's estimated value, which could impact buyer perception and negotiation leverage.
