Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1970, making it over 50 years old. While the description mentions recent updates such as brand new kitchen laminate flooring, stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, new interior paint, water heater, and water softener, these are partial updates rather than a full, extensive renovation. The images confirm new-looking laminate flooring in some areas. However, the bathroom clearly shows outdated elements, including an older light fixture, a vanity that appears to be from an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago), and a shower/tub combo with sliding glass doors and potentially older tiles. The ceiling fan in the bedroom also appears dated. The home is maintained and functional, but key areas like the bathroom show significant signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates or repairs to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Silicon Valley Location: Located in the desirable Santa Teresa neighborhood of San Jose, offering convenient access to top tech companies, renowned schools, parks, shopping centers, and major highways, placing it at the heart of Silicon Valley.
Extensive Recent Updates: The property boasts significant recent updates including brand new kitchen laminate flooring, stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, garage door, new interior paint, water heater, and water softener, enhancing its move-in readiness.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as a 'beautifully maintained home,' indicating a high level of care and upkeep beyond the recent updates, which adds to its appeal.
Functional & Bright Interior: Features spacious living areas, an open floor plan, and an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting and comfortable living environment.
Strong School Proximity & Ratings: Excellent access to highly-rated intermediate (Bernal Intermediate, rating 6, 0.45 miles) and high schools (Santa Teresa High School, rating 8, 2.24 miles), with multiple elementary options nearby, appealing to families.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1970, the home is over 50 years old, which may imply potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not covered by the recent cosmetic and appliance updates.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price of $1.35 million is 8% higher than the estimated property value of $1.236 million, which could be a point of negotiation or deter some potential buyers.
Lack of Mention of Cooling System: The property description does not mention the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in San Jose.
