More Insights
Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property shows signs of being well-maintained but has not undergone a recent major renovation. The kitchen, as seen in the images, features significantly outdated cabinets, laminate countertops, older appliances (wall oven, cooktop), and dated tile flooring and lighting fixtures, suggesting a renovation 20-30+ years ago or original features. While the living areas have hardwood floors, the overall aesthetic and key functional areas like the kitchen are far from modern. No bathroom images are provided, but it's reasonable to infer a similar condition. The main house also lacks central air conditioning. The property is functional but requires substantial cosmetic updates and potential system upgrades to meet current quality standards.

Generous Lot Size & Ample Parking: A large 13,099 sqft lot provides substantial outdoor space, complemented by a 2-car garage and additional parking spaces, a rare find in the area.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1951, the property may require updates to major systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, heating) to meet current standards and efficiency expectations, which are not explicitly detailed as being modernized.
No Central Cooling System Mentioned: The description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California and may require additional investment for installation.
Maintenance Demands of Historic Features: While charming, unique architectural details and older construction can lead to higher or specialized maintenance costs compared to newer, more standard builds.
