Condition Rating
Good

While built in 1965, this property benefits from significant recent updates to major systems, including new heat and air conditioning, kitchen and living room sliders, roof, and insulation. The hardwood floors are in good condition. However, the kitchen is very dated with original-style wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring, indicating a need for a full aesthetic renovation. No bathroom images were provided, but it's reasonable to assume they are similarly dated. Despite the outdated aesthetics in key areas, the recent updates to critical infrastructure make the home functionally sound and move-in ready, aligning with the 'Good' criteria where major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan, and some components are updated, but it hasn't undergone a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property boasts exceptional Bay, Hills, and Mountain views, complemented by west-facing decks perfect for relaxing and indoor/outdoor living.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Significant improvements have been completed, including new HVAC, roof, kitchen and living room sliders, concrete stairs, retaining walls, paint, and insulation, reducing immediate capital expenditures for a buyer.
Prime Nature-Adjacent Location: Located in the desirable Forestland Heights neighborhood, directly across from Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve and near other regional parks, offering unparalleled access to nature and outdoor activities.
Functional Layout & Architectural Charm: Features a spacious 2108 sqft with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, beautiful hardwood floors, a great room with vaulted beamed ceilings, and a practical layout including a downstairs 4th bedroom and laundry.
Strong Value Proposition: The property is listed below its estimated market value, presenting an attractive investment opportunity and potential for immediate equity for the discerning buyer.

Cons

Interior Cosmetic Updates Needed: Described as a 'blank canvas,' the interior requires personal touches and cosmetic updates, implying additional investment and effort for buyers to modernize to their taste.
Multi-Tiered Lot: The multi-tiered lot and yard, while offering peaceful surroundings, may present challenges for maintenance or limit usability for some buyers compared to a more conventional, flat outdoor space.
Variable High School Ratings: While some elementary schools in the vicinity are well-rated, the assigned high schools show mixed to lower ratings, which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public high school education.
