Condition Rating
Poor
This property, built in 1947 and offered for the first time in over 60 years, is in 'poor' condition. The listing description explicitly states 'endless potential for renovation, expansion, or complete reimagination,' indicating a need for substantial work. The images confirm this: the kitchen features severely outdated white cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and very dated linoleum flooring. The living room has old carpet and dated light fixtures. While the structure appears sound, the interior is functionally and aesthetically far from modern standards, requiring a full renovation of the kitchen, bathroom (not pictured but implied by age and lack of updates), and all major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to meet contemporary living expectations. This aligns with the 'poor' criteria of requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Expansion Potential: The property boasts a spacious basement, roughly the same size as the main level, offering an incredible opportunity to create substantial additional living space, a home office, or a gym.
Generous & Semi-Flat Lot: A generous 10,374 sqft semi-flat lot in the desirable Belmont hills provides ample outdoor space and significant potential for landscaping or further development.
Prime Belmont Hills Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Belmont hills, this location offers a desirable neighborhood and strong potential for long-term value appreciation.
High-Rated School Access: The property benefits from proximity to top-rated schools, including Carlmont High School (9/10) and Ralston Intermediate School (9/10), enhancing its appeal to families.
Rare Opportunity: Being offered for the first time in over 60 years, this property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Belmont history with significant untapped potential.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Built in 1947 and untouched for decades, the home likely requires significant renovation, modernization, or complete reimagination to meet contemporary standards and maximize its value.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 3 bedrooms and only 1 bathroom, the current layout is insufficient for most modern family needs and will necessitate a costly bathroom addition or expansion.
Mixed School Performance: While some nearby schools are highly rated, there are also lower-rated options such as Abbott Middle School (4/10) and Laurel Elementary School (4/10), which could be a consideration for some buyers.
