Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1960, has been well-maintained with lovely hardwood floors throughout and fresh paint, indicating regular upkeep. However, the kitchen features dated oak cabinets, an older-style built-in dining nook, and functional but not modern black appliances, suggesting updates that are likely 15-30 years old. While there are some newer elements like recessed lighting and a subway tile backsplash, the overall kitchen aesthetic is outdated. No bathroom images were provided, but based on the kitchen, they are likely functional but also dated. The property is move-in ready but would benefit from cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen, to meet current quality standards and styles.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: The property offers desirable panoramic views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential value.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in a wonderful court within the Linda Heights neighborhood, providing easy access to I80, essential amenities (Kaiser, Sprouts, Trader Joe's), and walking distance to Collins Elementary.
Well-Maintained with Classic Features: The home has been well-maintained by the same family since 1988 and features lovely hardwood floors throughout, adding to its charm and durability.
Unique Eco-Conscious Landscaping: The front yard is a certified Monarch Butterfly Waystation, offering a unique, attractive, and environmentally friendly outdoor space that supports pollinators.
Versatile Living & Outdoor Spaces: Includes a bonus room for flexible use and a deck off the kitchen, complementing the private backyard for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining.
Cons
Limited Garage Capacity: The property offers only 1-car parking in the garage, which may be a constraint for households with multiple vehicles or those requiring additional storage.
Split-Level Floor Plan: The split-level design, while distinctive, may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-level living or a more conventional layout.
Potential for System Updates (Age): Built in 1960, the property may have original systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that, despite being well-maintained, could require future upgrades or replacements.
