Condition Rating
Tear down
Built in 1957, this property is over 50 years old and the listing description explicitly states it's a 'Custom home of 1957 that never changed ownership,' indicating no major renovations in the past 50 years. The images confirm this, showing a severely outdated kitchen with tiled countertops, old blue cabinets, and white appliances, along with worn hardwood floors and dated light fixtures throughout. The description's emphasis on 'opportunities to remodel or build a dream home' strongly suggests the property's value lies primarily in its generous 1-acre lot, making the existing structure a candidate for demolition or a complete gut renovation rather than minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Nestled in the desirable Los Gatos hills, offering convenient access to Saratoga and Los Gatos downtowns, dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.
Highly-Rated School District: Zoned for top-tier Saratoga schools, including Saratoga High, Redwood, and Saratoga Elementary, a significant draw for families.
Generous 1-Acre Lot: A substantial 1-acre parcel provides ample space, privacy, and significant potential for expansion or new construction.
Development & Customization Potential: The property presents a rare opportunity to extensively remodel the existing charming 1957 home or build a new custom dream home.
Scenic Views & Natural Setting: Boasts incredible views and is surrounded by natural beauty, heritage trees, and a gently flowing creek, offering a serene environment.

Cons

Extensive Renovation Required: The 1957 home, having never changed ownership, is likely in original condition and requires significant modernization or a complete rebuild.
Modest Home Size: At 1478 sqft, the existing structure is relatively small for a 1-acre lot in this desirable area, indicating the primary value is in the land.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from the original listing suggests the initial pricing may have been ambitious or that buyer interest has been limited.
