More Insights
Built in 1946 (80 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1946, this property has undergone a thoughtful and extensive modern renovation, as evidenced by the open-concept layout, consistent hardwood flooring, and recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen is a standout with new white shaker cabinets, dark quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a modern range and refrigerator), and stylish pendant lighting over the island. Both bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, sleek fixtures, and modern tiling, appearing virtually new. All visible components meet current quality standards with no signs of deferred maintenance, making it move-in ready and aligning with the 'extensively renovated recently' criteria for an excellent score.

Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1303, other record living area = 1206.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive remodeling, the home's original build year of 1946 may raise concerns about the condition of underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) not explicitly detailed in the description.
Undefined MLS Area: The MLS area is listed as '699 - Not Defined', which could make it challenging for buyers searching by specific neighborhoods or for agents to provide precise market comparisons.
Lack of HVAC/Cooling System Mention: The property description does not mention the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which can be a significant drawback for buyers in the Southern California climate.
