I love this house. It's going to need a lot of work, but I think it's so worth it.

It looks like it'll be nice and cool inside during the summer. Do you think that'll be the case? It is rendered brick isn't it?

Not sure what you mean by rendered brick - it's Mission stucco (smoother than what you see on a lot of newer construction). I think it will be cool, because it has huge french doors that swing open to the backyard pool, so the ocean breezes that hit at about 3pm will carry through the house. Also, central A/C, so that's gonna help.

I don't know what kind of ocean breezes you'll get that far inland, but good luck with that.

So the stucco is on bricks not fibro cement sheeting? Rendered brick is basically just a brick home with a cement coating (rendering) such as stucco although sometimes that's plaster isn't it?

Anyway, I was just wondering.

after living in the valley for so long, any moving air would be a welcome change.
