Built in 1930, this historic Spanish Colonial estate requires substantial modernization. The kitchen features very dated white appliances (including a coil-top stove), old-style cabinets, laminate countertops, and patterned wallpaper, indicating a renovation that is likely 30-50+ years old. While bathrooms are not pictured, the property analysis explicitly states a need for 'substantial investment for system updates (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general modernization to meet contemporary standards,' which, combined with the visibly outdated kitchen, places it in the 'poor' category. The property is livable but needs significant rehabilitation to meet current quality and comfort standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 30297, living area = 3488.
