Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1950, this property is aged but appears to be maintained. The kitchen features very dated wooden cabinets, older white appliances (refrigerator, gas range), and basic lighting, though the flooring looks more recently updated. The living areas and bedrooms have worn carpeting and dated light fixtures. The heating system is an older wall-mounted unit. While functional, the property requires significant modernization and updates, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathroom (not pictured but expected to be similar in age/style), to meet contemporary standards. It is livable but shows clear signs of being outdated and needing minor to moderate renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Strategically located near Stanford University, Facebook/Meta, downtown Palo Alto, and major commuter routes, offering unparalleled convenience and desirability in Silicon Valley.
Expansion & Development Potential: The large backyard provides significant potential for future expansion, gardening, or creating an ideal outdoor entertaining space, adding long-term value.
Broad Buyer Appeal: Positioned as an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking to customize their dream home in a dynamic market.
Natural Light & Open Layout: Features a bright and inviting residence with a wide open living and dining area, complemented by abundant natural light, enhancing the living experience.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: Proximity to well-regarded schools such as Menlo-Atherton High (rated 7) and Laurel Elementary (rated 8) is a strong advantage for families.
Cons
Listed Above Estimated Value: The current listing price of $800,000 is notably higher than the estimated property value of $736,361.575, which may deter price-sensitive buyers or require justification.
Limited Living Space & Bathroom Count: With only 920 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the property offers relatively compact living quarters, which might not suit larger families or those desiring more space.
Age and Potential for Updates: Built in 1950, the property, including its 'functional kitchen with classic touches,' likely requires significant modernization and updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations, implying additional investment.
