Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Remodel & Unique Character: This rare Spanish farmhouse has been lovingly and extensively remodeled, featuring a custom kitchen with high-end finishes, updated bathrooms, central air conditioning, a newer clay tile roof, and modern flooring, seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary comfort.
Income-Generating Guest Cottage: A charming, permitted guest cottage with its own kitchenette provides excellent flexibility for visitors, extended family, or significant potential for rental income, currently utilized as an Airbnb.
Spacious & Amenity-Rich Lot: Situated on almost an acre, the property offers privacy, open views, and a wealth of practical amenities including a permitted 576 sq. ft. insulated workshop, private well, automatic irrigation, circular driveway, RV parking, and a beautifully landscaped cottage garden.
Prime Location: Ideally located within the City of Morgan Hill, providing convenient access to downtown amenities, schools, supermarkets, and major freeway routes, enhancing its desirability.
Modern Comforts & Views: Equipped with central air conditioning for year-round comfort and offering pleasant open mountain views, contributing to a high quality of life.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: While extensively remodeled, the main residence was originally built in 1949, which could imply potential for unforeseen issues with older underlying infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as updated, or higher insurance costs.
High Landscape Maintenance: The nearly one-acre lot features lush, detailed landscaping and a cottage garden, which, while beautiful, will require significant ongoing time, effort, and cost for maintenance.
Unspecified High School District: The high school district is listed as 'Other,' which may be a point of concern for buyers prioritizing specific, highly-rated school districts, as it lacks specific information on school quality or reputation.
