Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1970, presents a mixed condition. While the main kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with modern finishes, including shaker-style cabinets, quartz-like countertops, mosaic backsplashes, and contemporary fixtures, other areas show significant age. The 'bonus kitchen' is notably dated with older cabinets, appliances, and backsplash. The exterior, fireplace, and some windows also appear to be original or older. The listing description explicitly states it's a 'renovation opportunity' and 'blank canvas,' indicating that while some areas are updated, the property as a whole requires further investment and updates to achieve a consistent modern standard, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of needing minor updates/repairs and having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Renovation Opportunity & Customization Potential: The property is explicitly marketed as a 'blank canvas' with 'potential' for buyers to bring their 'vision' and customize, appealing to those seeking to create their ideal home.
Flexible & Expanded Living Space: Features a 'creative layout,' a converted garage with a 4th bedroom and an additional flex room, plus an enclosed patio with a bonus kitchen, offering versatile living arrangements for various needs.
Desirable Milpitas Location: Situated in a 'great location in the Pines neighborhood of Milpitas,' a sought-after area within the competitive Bay Area market.
Strong School Ratings: Access to highly-rated public schools, including Milpitas High School (Rating 9) and Pearl Zanker Elementary (Rating 7) within close proximity, enhancing family appeal.
Attractive Value Proposition: The list price of $1.35M is notably below the estimated property value of $1.497M, suggesting a strong investment opportunity and potential for immediate equity.
Cons
Significant Renovation Required: Built in 1970, the property's 'eclectic charm and unique character' and 'renovation opportunity' description strongly imply substantial updates and modernization are needed, representing a considerable upfront investment for buyers.
Converted Garage Considerations: While adding space, the converted garage may present issues with permitting, lack of dedicated garage parking, or potential for substandard construction/insulation, which could impact functionality and future resale value.
Recurring Association Fees: The presence of an association fee of $358.0 adds a recurring cost to homeownership, which can be a deterrent for some buyers and needs to be factored into the overall budget.
