Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1952, this property is over 70 years old. While the living area appears clean and staged with hardwood floors and some recessed lighting, the visible kitchen features outdated dark wood cabinets and older tile flooring, indicating a lack of recent renovation. The MLS description explicitly states the property has 'potential to expansion and rebuild' and that 'The plan for new home is ready,' with a weakness noting it 'likely requires extensive modernization, renovation, or a full rebuild.' This strongly suggests the existing structure requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, and its value is primarily in the land and redevelopment potential, aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Situated at the desirable borders of Cupertino, Los Altos, and Sunnyvale, offering unparalleled access to major tech hubs, downtown amenities, and commuter routes (Hwys 280 & 85).
Top-Tier School Access: Within walking distance to highly-rated Cupertino schools (Elementary, Middle, High), making it extremely attractive for families.
Significant Development Opportunity: Features a generous 9,375 sqft lot with pre-existing plans for a new home, providing substantial potential for expansion or a complete rebuild.
High Walkability Score: Conveniently located within walking distance to essential services and popular establishments like Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and Peet's Coffee.
Value Proposition: Listed below the estimated market value, presenting an opportunity for immediate equity gain upon purchase.
Cons
Age and Condition: Built in 1952, the existing structure is older and likely requires extensive modernization, renovation, or a full rebuild to align with contemporary preferences and maximize its potential.
Modest Current Living Space: The 1,416 sqft living area is relatively small for a 3-bedroom home in this premium market, especially considering the large lot size.
Substantial Additional Investment: While offering significant upside, realizing the property's full potential (expansion or new construction) will necessitate considerable additional financial investment beyond the initial purchase price.
