Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1947, this home has undergone significant recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile backsplash, indicating a renovation within the last 5-10 years. One bathroom is also extensively updated with a contemporary vanity, fixtures, and tiling. While the second bathroom's vanity appears slightly older, it is clean and functional. The property boasts fresh paint throughout, updated flooring (hardwood laminate and carpet), and a recently refreshed exterior with pavers and turf, aligning with the 'impeccably maintained' description. These updates, particularly in the kitchen and main bathroom, elevate the property's condition to 'Good', despite its original build year, as it meets the criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years in key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Move-in Ready Condition: The property is 'impeccably maintained and freshly painted inside and out,' offering immediate occupancy without major renovations.
Enhanced Curb Appeal: Features a 'recently updated front yard with pavers and turf,' providing an attractive and low-maintenance exterior.
Exceptional Commuter Access: Strategically located 'close to 580 and BART,' offering convenient transportation options for commuters.
Abundant Local Amenities: Proximity to 'beautiful hiking trails, diverse selection of restaurants and grocery stores' enhances lifestyle convenience and appeal.
Competitive Pricing: Recent price reductions from $820,000 to $799,000 indicate a motivated seller and potentially good value for buyers.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1947, the home may have older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future updates or maintenance, despite current good condition.
Modest Interior Space: With 1293 sqft, the interior living space might be considered compact for some buyers, particularly those seeking larger family accommodations.
