Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1959, this property is described as 'Move-In Ready' and 'turn-key ready' with 'thoughtful updates throughout.' The images confirm fresh interior and exterior paint, newly replaced windows and doors, and newer fencing. The hallway bathroom has been remodeled with modern fixtures and finishes. While the kitchen's wood cabinets and granite countertops are not a brand-new, high-end renovation, they are clean, functional, and well-maintained. The flooring is updated with tile and laminate, and the garage is finished. The overall condition indicates a well-maintained home with significant recent updates, requiring no immediate renovations, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Turn-Key & Updated Condition: The property is explicitly described as 'Move-In Ready' and 'turn-key ready' with significant recent updates including fresh interior/exterior paint, a remodeled hallway bathroom, newer fencing, and newly replaced windows and doors, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
Versatile Bonus Space: The inclusion of a 'bonus sunroom' adds valuable and flexible living space, ideal for a playroom, home office, gym, or lounge, enhancing the home's functionality beyond its stated square footage.
Functional Finished Garage: A 'finished garage for extra functionality' provides additional usable space, which can serve various purposes from storage to a workshop, adding practical value.
Low-Maintenance Landscaping: The presence of 'low-maintenance granite landscaping in both the front and back yard' is appealing to buyers seeking convenience and reduced upkeep costs.
Market Demand Indication: The 'Active Under Contract' status indicates that the property has successfully attracted a buyer within 46 days on market, validating its appeal and pricing in the current market.
Cons
Limited Square Footage: At approximately 1,040 square feet for a 3-bedroom home, the interior living space is relatively compact, which might be a limiting factor for larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
Age of Property: Built in 1959, the home is over 60 years old. While updates are noted, potential buyers may have concerns about the condition of original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) not explicitly mentioned as replaced or upgraded.
Undefined School District: The high school district is listed as 'Other,' which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing specific, highly-rated school districts, potentially narrowing the buyer pool in a competitive market like San Jose.
