Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this property has seen significant functional updates including newer central heat/AC, water heater, electrical panel, and dual-pane windows, which are strong positives. However, the kitchen features dated oak cabinets, tile counters, and an older Jennaire stove, despite having stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher. The bathroom vanity also shows dated oak cabinetry and tile. While the interior has been freshly painted and major systems are functional, the overall aesthetic, including extensive carpeting and 1970s/80s architectural elements, is outdated and would require substantial cosmetic renovations to meet current market expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Spectacular Bay Views: The property boasts spectacular Bay Views, a highly desirable feature that enhances its appeal and potential value.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Significant updates include newer central heat & air conditioning, water heater, electrical panel, dual pane windows, composition shingle roof, and freshly painted interior, reducing immediate maintenance for a new owner.
Functional Kitchen with Modern Appliances: The large kitchen features stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, Jennaire stove & oven, recessed lighting, and an open dining area, providing a practical and well-equipped space.
Spacious and Versatile Living Areas: The living room offers high ceilings, abundant natural light, a free-standing stove, and a flexible loft area that can serve as a family room, adding to the home's functionality.
Strong Value Proposition: Listed under $1M, the property offers significant value, especially considering its Bay views and recent upgrades, with the listing price being 12% below the estimated value.
Cons
Square Footage Discrepancy: There is a noted difference between public records and appraisal square footage, requiring buyers to verify, which could introduce uncertainty.
Leased Alarm System: The alarm system is leased, implying an ongoing contractual obligation and additional monthly cost for the new homeowner.
Potentially Dated Kitchen Finishes: While functional, the 'Oak cabinets' and 'tile counters' in the kitchen might be considered dated by some buyers, potentially necessitating future cosmetic updates.
