Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this home is aged but appears well-maintained. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring. Bathrooms are explicitly outdated, highlighted by the 'oversized jetted tub with a carpet surround.' Other areas show worn carpeting and dated light fixtures. While functional and livable, the property clearly requires significant cosmetic updates and renovations to meet current styles and standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within Los Altos, offering access to highly-rated schools and a desirable neighborhood, which are strong value drivers.
Significant Renovation Potential: Described as a 'fantastic opportunity' with 'tons of potential' for a total remodel, allowing buyers to customize and add substantial value in a prime area.
Spacious Living & Lot Size: Features a generous 2,875 sqft of living space and an 11,305 sqft lot, providing ample room for a larger family and outdoor activities.
Functional Split-Level Floor Plan: The split-level design offers versatile living arrangements, ideal for family separation or multi-generational living.
Well-Maintained Condition: Despite being dated, the property has been 'very well taken care of throughout the years,' indicating good foundational care and less deferred maintenance.
Cons
Outdated Interior Finishes: The description explicitly states the home is 'dated,' highlighting features like a 'carpet surround' for the jetted tub, which will require immediate modernization to meet current market expectations.
Required Renovation Investment: While offering potential, achieving modern standards will necessitate a substantial investment in renovations, which may deter buyers seeking a move-in ready home.
Aesthetic Inconsistencies: Some features like 'granite countertops' are positive, but the overall 'dated' aesthetic suggests a lack of cohesive modern design, requiring a comprehensive update to enhance appeal.
