Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1966, this property has been well-maintained and features some updates, but they are now showing their age. The kitchen has updated white cabinets and granite countertops, but the tile flooring, black appliances, and fluorescent ceiling light are dated. The bathroom vanity and shower appear functional but are not modern in style. Hardwood floors throughout the living areas are a plus, and the property has HVAC. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to bring the kitchen and bathrooms to current aesthetic standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Lot with ADU Potential: The generous 10,218 sq.ft. (.24 acre) lot provides ample space for outdoor living, gardening, and offers significant potential for adding a pool or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enhancing future value and flexibility.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in a well-established neighborhood, the property offers excellent convenience with easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and major freeways, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Year-Round Comfort: Equipped with a full HVAC system, the home ensures comfortable living conditions throughout all seasons, a desirable feature for modern living.
Family-Friendly Layout: The home features a practical 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plan with an open living area and a cozy fireplace, suitable for various family needs and offering a timeless appeal.
Proximity to Top-Rated Schools: Located very close to Hidden Valley Elementary (0.3 miles) and within a reasonable distance to College Park High School (rated 8), making it highly attractive for families with school-aged children.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1966, the home is nearly 60 years old. The description lacks details on recent interior renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms), suggesting potential for dated aesthetics or systems that may require significant investment from a new owner.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a recent price reduction from $839,000 to $825,000, which could indicate an initial overpricing or a slower market response, potentially affecting perceived value or negotiation leverage.
Implied 'As-Is' Condition: The phrase 'Offers presented as received' often implies the seller's reluctance to undertake repairs or extensive negotiations regarding property condition, potentially shifting more responsibility and cost onto the buyer for any necessary improvements.
