Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property was built in 1988, making it 38 years old and placing it in the 'poor' category based on the age criteria (>30 years). While the paid solar is a valuable system update, the lack of mentioned renovations suggests the kitchen and bathrooms are likely original and require significant updates or rehab.
The property features fully paid solar panels, offering significant long-term utility savings and immediate added value for the buyer.
Ideally situated within minutes of Merced College, popular shopping centers, and local bike trails, providing excellent lifestyle convenience.
The home is located within walking distance (less than 0.3 miles) of both elementary and middle schools, making it highly practical for families.
The assigned middle and high schools have lower academic ratings (3 and 4 respectively), which may be a concern for education-focused families.
The property is noted as having no views, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking a more aesthetic or picturesque setting.
