More Insights
Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1964, has undergone significant recent renovations, including a brand-new roof (March '25), new carpet in bedrooms and family room (April '25), and new white granite counters with a tile backsplash in the kitchen (April '25). The secondary bathroom also features new vanity, fixtures, flooring, and toilet. These updates make the home largely move-in ready. However, the kitchen still retains its original, dated wood cabinets, and one bathroom has a very dated sink and older shower tile. While cosmetically refreshed, the age of core systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) is not specified as updated, and the lack of explicit central air conditioning is a notable omission for the Sacramento climate. The property is well-maintained with substantial recent improvements, but not all components are new, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
