Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1955, this property has undergone extensive recent updates including new interior paint, new recessed lighting, new interior doors, refinished hardwood floors, double-pane windows, and a newer roof, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, double ovens) and a gas cooktop, though the tile countertops and backsplash appear stylistically dated. The bathrooms are updated and functional, but some fixtures and tile work are not contemporary. Overall, the home is well-maintained with functional systems and minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Commuter Access: Prime location offering walking distance to top-rated Springer Elementary, local parks (Cuesta, Bubb), and essential amenities. It's also a quick bike ride to major tech campuses (Google, Apple, Meta, Nvidia) and Caltrain, appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Extensive Recent Updates: The home boasts significant recent upgrades including new interior paint, recessed lighting, interior doors, refinished hardwood floors, double-pane windows, and a newer roof, minimizing immediate maintenance for a new owner.
Updated Kitchen & Baths: Features a big, wonderful tile kitchen with a center island, gas cooktop, double ovens, and skylights, alongside updated bathrooms, providing modern comfort and functionality.
Bright Open Floorplan & Views: An excellent open floorplan with large windows, skylights, and sunny southern exposure ensures abundant natural light. The property also offers a fantastic view of the western hills, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Appealing Landscaping: Beautiful new and mature landscaping, including a notable apple tree, contributes to strong curb appeal and provides an inviting outdoor environment.
Cons
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially for a home built in 1955.
Older Core Structure: While many cosmetic and functional updates have been made, the home's original build year of 1955 suggests that some underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond lighting) may still be original or older, potentially leading to future maintenance considerations.
Vague High School District Information: The high school district is listed as 'Other,' which lacks specificity and could be a point of concern for buyers prioritizing specific top-tier high school affiliations, especially given the explicit mention of top-rated elementary and middle schools.
