Despite being built in 1938, this Spanish-style casita has undergone significant modern updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, good quality cabinetry, and a skylight, though the green granite countertops are a slightly dated style. The primary bathroom is extensively updated with a modern walk-in shower and fixtures. Gleaming hardwood floors are present throughout, and central AC is a key modern amenity. While not every component is brand new, the property is well-maintained with substantial recent renovations, aligning with the 'Good' criteria.

Charming & Updated Interior: A Spanish-style casita that seamlessly blends timeless architectural charm with modern updates, including gleaming hardwood floors, a chef's kitchen with a skylight, and an updated primary suite bathroom.

Strong Community & School Access: Located in a neighborhood renowned for its vibrant community spirit and within close proximity to well-regarded schools like Willow Glen High and Booksin Elementary.

Cons

Compact Lot Size: The 4,361 sq. ft. lot is relatively small, which may limit outdoor expansion possibilities or appeal to buyers seeking a more expansive yard.
Limited Square Footage: With 1,303 sq. ft. of living space, the home may be considered compact for larger families or those desiring more extensive interior room.
Age of Original Construction: While updated, the home's 1938 build year suggests that some original components or infrastructure might still be present, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance needs in the long term.
