Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property was built in 1987, making it 39 years old with no mention of recent renovations. Per the criteria, structures over 30 years old without significant updates are classified as poor; the interior appears dated and likely requires a full rehab of the kitchen, bathroom, and original systems.
Situated minutes from the international border, the Trolley Station, and major freeways, this property offers exceptional convenience for cross-border professionals and frequent commuters.
Located within the gated Villa Serena community, residents have access to premium amenities including two swimming pools, a BBQ area, and a playground, which enhances the property's rental appeal.
As a downstairs corner unit, the property provides easier accessibility and increased privacy, further complemented by the inclusion of assigned parking and dedicated storage space.
At only 400 square feet, the studio layout significantly restricts the potential buyer pool and may pose challenges for those requiring more functional living or storage area.
