Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1955, this home has been 'lovingly cared for' but is severely outdated, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets, dated patterned linoleum flooring, a fluorescent box light, and appliances that appear to be from the 1970s or 80s (except for a newer dishwasher). Both bathrooms also exhibit very dated white square tiling, basic fixtures, and older vanities/pedestal sinks. While functional and seemingly well-maintained, these key areas require substantial rehabilitation and a complete overhaul to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for properties with major components renovated 30-50 years ago or not at all.
Pros & Cons

Prime Location: Nestled in Sunnyvale's desirable Birdland neighborhood, the property offers an unbeatable location within walking distance to major employers like Apple and Kaiser, appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Spacious Layout: With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 2,365 sqft, the home provides a substantial amount of living space, accommodating larger families or those needing dedicated home office areas.
Generous Lot Size: The property sits on a generous 6,720 sq. ft. lot, offering ample outdoor space for landscaping, entertaining, or potential expansion, which is a premium in the Sunnyvale market.
Customization Potential: Described as 'ready for your personal touch,' this presents a significant opportunity for buyers to modernize and personalize the home to their specific tastes and preferences, adding future value.
Strong Elementary School: The property is zoned for Laurelwood Elementary School, which boasts a strong rating of 8, making it highly attractive for families with young children.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1955, the home is nearly 70 years old, suggesting that many systems, finishes, and overall aesthetics may be outdated and require significant investment for modernization.
Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $3.5 million is 10% higher than the estimated property value of $3.12 million, which could make it challenging to justify the price to potential buyers without significant upgrades.
Required Renovation Costs: The phrase 'ready for your personal touch' strongly implies that the property needs substantial renovation and updates, which will incur considerable additional costs beyond the purchase price for the buyer.
