Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1983, this property is 41 years old and shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features highly dated dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, an old white dishwasher, and a fluorescent grid ceiling light, all requiring a complete overhaul. The flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms consists of worn, stained, and outdated patterned carpet. While a mini-split HVAC unit is visible, the overall condition, including popcorn ceilings and likely original bathrooms (though not fully pictured), indicates a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The listing description itself suggests a 'major remodel or update a little at a time,' reinforcing that the property is far from move-in ready by modern standards and requires significant investment.

Proximity to Highly-Rated Middle & High Schools: Located very close to Bayside S.T.E.M. Academy (7/10) and within reasonable distance to Aragon High (8/10) and San Mateo High (7/10), which is attractive for families.
Cons
Significant Price Reductions: Multiple substantial price drops from the original $1.187M to the current $908K indicate potential overpricing or market challenges, which could raise buyer concerns.

Low-Rated Elementary Schools: The closest elementary schools (Horrall Elementary - 2/10, Parkside Elementary - 4/10) have below-average ratings, which could be a drawback for families with young children.
