Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1962, this property is over 60 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained with a pavered driveway and the description notes 'newer windows throughout,' the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are likely original or have not been significantly updated in decades. The listing description explicitly states an 'opportunity to customize and transform this house into your dream home,' which strongly suggests that major aesthetic and functional updates are needed to modernize the property. The living room carpet, visible in images, appears clean but dated. The home is functional but shows clear signs of being outdated and requires substantial renovation to meet current quality and style standards, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Hamann Park neighborhood, offering close proximity to vibrant downtown Campbell, idyllic Hamann Park, and excellent commuting access to major highways (17, 280, Winchester, San Tomas).
Spacious & Flexible Layout: A generous 2,149 sq ft home featuring 6 bedrooms and an office, with an easily adaptable floor plan that provides significant living space and customization potential for diverse needs.
Private Outdoor Oasis: The property boasts a refreshing pool and a pavered patio in a low-maintenance rear yard, creating an ideal setting for relaxation, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment.
Key Modern Updates: Benefits from newer windows throughout the home and a pavered driveway, enhancing curb appeal, energy efficiency, and reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
High Bedroom Count: With 6 bedrooms plus a dedicated office, this home offers exceptional capacity, making it suitable for large families, multi-generational living, or those requiring multiple dedicated workspaces.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Ratio: The property features only 2 bathrooms for 6 bedrooms and an office, which is a low ratio for a home of this size and bedroom count, potentially causing inconvenience for a larger household.
Potential for Renovation Investment: While offering customization potential, the 1962 build year and the description's emphasis on 'transform this house into your dream home' suggest that significant additional investment beyond the purchase price may be required for comprehensive updates.
Age of Core Systems: As a 1962 build, critical infrastructure such as plumbing, electrical, and potentially HVAC systems (not explicitly mentioned as updated) may be original or outdated, possibly necessitating future replacement or upgrades.
