Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Renovation: The home has undergone comprehensive recent upgrades, including fully renovated bathrooms, custom closets, new flooring, fresh interior/exterior paint, new lighting, and new sliding doors, offering a true turnkey living experience.
Premium Location & School District: Nestled in the highly sought-after Glencrest Patios community, the property offers a peaceful, private setting with access to top-rated schools: Williams Elementary, Bret Harte Middle, and Leland High.
Desirable Interior Features: The bright and airy interior boasts soaring ceilings, skylights, two fireplaces, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, a spacious primary suite with luxury finishes, and central A/C.
Community Amenities & Low HOA: Residents benefit from a community pool and low monthly HOA dues, enhancing lifestyle and property value without significant recurring costs.
Private Outdoor Space & Views: The property features a private backyard with mature fruit trees and offers desirable views of the Park/Greenbelt and Mountains, providing excellent outdoor living and aesthetic appeal.
Cons
Original Construction Year: Despite extensive remodels, the home's original construction year of 1988 means some core structural or system components (e.g., foundation, non-upgraded plumbing/electrical) are older, which may raise buyer considerations.
HOA Community Restrictions: Being part of an HOA community, even with low dues, typically involves rules and restrictions on property modifications or usage that might not appeal to all buyers seeking complete autonomy over their property.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a recent price reduction from its original list price, which, while potentially a market adjustment, could lead some buyers to question the initial pricing strategy or perceive a lack of immediate demand.
