Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1959, this home has received updates, including dual-pane windows and laminate/tile flooring throughout. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry and granite countertops, which are functional but appear dated in style, along with white appliances, suggesting a renovation from 15-25 years ago. The bathroom has a newer vanity and light fixture but standard tile work. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the property's major components, particularly the kitchen, show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Versatile & Bright Interiors: High beamed ceilings, skylights, and large dual-pane windows flood the home with natural light, complemented by a highly versatile fourth bedroom ideal for a home office, guest suite, or media lounge.
Prime Milpitas Location: Exceptional proximity to major employers, freeways, BART, parks, and highly-rated Milpitas schools (especially the high school) offers unparalleled convenience and strong community appeal.
Expansive & Functional Outdoor Living: A generous 7,000 sq. ft. corner lot features a spacious side yard for various uses and a serene backyard with fruit trees and partial mountain views, promoting indoor-outdoor living.
Practical & Durable Amenities: The single-level layout, kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and granite countertops, dual-pane windows, attached two-car garage, large driveway, and ample storage provide a comfortable and well-equipped home.
Strong High School District: The property benefits from being zoned for the highly-rated Milpitas High School (rating 9), a significant advantage for families and long-term property value.

Cons

Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1959, the home is over six decades old, which may imply a need for updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as renovated, potentially incurring future costs.
Significant Price Adjustment History: The current list price represents a substantial increase from the original listing price, which might prompt buyer scrutiny regarding the justification for the price hike or recent improvements.
Inconsistent Elementary School Ratings: While the high school is excellent, one of the closest elementary schools (Robert Randall Elementary) has a lower rating of 3, which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier elementary education.
