Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1922, the property has undergone significant recent updates including new flooring, double-pane windows, and new forced air heating, which are major system improvements. The exterior and deck appear well-maintained, and new retaining walls and a regraded driveway are noted. While the interior, particularly the bathroom, maintains a rustic cabin aesthetic with a clawfoot tub and wood paneling (some appearing unfinished), the functional updates make the home move-in ready. The absence of kitchen photos prevents a complete assessment of that area, but the listed improvements align with a 'Good' condition, indicating a well-maintained property with functional systems that doesn't require immediate major renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Updates: The property has undergone significant recent improvements including new flooring, double-pane windows, forced air heating, retaining walls, and a regraded driveway, enhancing comfort and reducing immediate maintenance for buyers.
Unique Rustic Appeal & Natural Setting: A classic updated redwood 'rustic cabin' nestled amongst the redwoods offers a distinctive aesthetic and serene natural environment, appealing to buyers seeking character and tranquility.
Attractive Assumable FHA Loan: The availability of an attractive assumable FHA loan presents a significant financial advantage for eligible buyers, potentially offering a lower interest rate in the current market.
Prime Recreational Location: Situated within walking distance to the historic Brookdale Lodge and close to Big Basin State Park, Boulder Creek, and Santa Cruz beaches/boardwalk, offering abundant local attractions and outdoor activities.
Spacious Lot with Scenic Views: A generous 16,988 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space and privacy, complemented by desirable 'Trees/Woods' views.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants and could necessitate future expansion.
Historic Property Maintenance: Built in 1922, despite updates, the age of the core structure may imply potential for ongoing maintenance or unforeseen issues typical of older homes.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price reduction from $685,000 to $679,000 could suggest a lack of initial market interest or an overestimation of value, potentially raising buyer concerns about pricing strategy.
