Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property is 70 years old. While the kitchen and bathrooms appear to have undergone a renovation, the style (light wood cabinets, black granite-like countertops, glass block windows, mirrored backsplash, track lighting) is significantly dated, likely from 20-30+ years ago. The flooring throughout the main living areas consists of very worn and stained linoleum/vinyl tile, and the bedroom carpets are also heavily worn and dirty, requiring immediate replacement. Appliances are a mix of older white and newer stainless steel, indicating no cohesive recent update. The description itself highlights it as an 'exceptional value-add opportunity,' which implies substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed to bring the property to modern standards and comfort. It is not unlivable, but requires significant investment beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located just minutes from the vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment hubs of Downtown Saratoga and Los Gatos, with excellent access to major highways (9, 17, 85, Saratoga/Sunnyvale Road) for convenient commuting.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Presented as an 'exceptional value-add opportunity' with available expansion plans and renderings for an additional 1,200 sq. ft., clearly outlining the potential to enhance both space and market value.
Award-Winning School District: Situated within the highly desirable boundaries of award-winning schools, a significant draw for families and a strong factor in long-term property appreciation.
Generous Lot Size: Boasts a substantial 10,000 sq. ft. rectangular lot, providing ample space for the proposed expansion, extensive landscaping, or creating desirable outdoor living areas.
Community & Views: Benefits from a welcoming community environment with an active neighborhood watch and offers diverse views including City Lights, Park/Greenbelt, Hills, and Mountains.
Cons
Age of Property & Required Updates: Built in 1954, the existing 1,252 sq. ft. home likely requires significant modernization and updates to meet contemporary standards and fully capitalize on its prime location and expansion potential.
Modest Current Living Space: The current 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout at 1,252 sq. ft. is relatively small for the Saratoga market, implying that the proposed expansion is crucial to maximize its appeal and value.
Additional Investment Required: While offering 'value-add' potential, realizing this upside necessitates a substantial additional investment in terms of capital, time, and effort for the planned 1,200 sq. ft. expansion and potential renovations.
