Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1926, this property has undergone some cosmetic updates, including a renovated bathroom with a quartz countertop and repainted kitchen cabinets. However, the kitchen features black appliances and countertops that are functional but not modern. Flooring is inconsistent, with wood-look laminate in some areas and older tile in others. While move-in ready, the home's age suggests potential for older major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and some outdated fixtures, placing it in the 'Fair' category, requiring minor updates or potential system checks.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: C. T. English Middle School (9/10). High School: Los Gatos High School (10/10).
Award-Winning Los Gatos Schools: The property is located within the highly-rated Los Gatos school district, including Los Gatos High (10/10), C.T. English Middle (9/10), and Loma Prieta Elementary (8/10), a significant draw for families.
Desirable Community & Amenities: Located in the desirable Redwood Estates community, offering access to a pool, event center, kids playground, and green spaces, managed by a non-profit association that maintains roads and amenities without strict HOA controls.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Nature Views: Features newly repainted exterior decks perfect for lounging and entertaining, complemented by gorgeous nature views from the open living area.
Updated Key Interior Features & Flexible Space: Includes an updated bathroom with a dual vanity and quartz countertop, a kitchen with an island and repainted cabinets, and a versatile work-from-home office space or bonus room.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Offers easy access to major transportation routes like Hwy 17 and Old Santa Cruz Highway, as well as proximity to downtown Los Gatos and Santa Cruz beaches.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Further Updates: Built in 1926, the home's age suggests potential for older systems, ongoing maintenance, or the need for additional modernization beyond the cosmetic updates mentioned.
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property may not accommodate larger families or those desiring more private space and convenience.
Recent Price Reduction: A significant price drop from the original list price of $898,000 to $798,000 indicates potential overpricing initially or challenges in attracting buyers at its previous price point.
