Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 2000, this property is 24 years old and appears to be very well-maintained with no immediate repairs needed. However, the kitchen features traditional cherry wood cabinets, dark granite countertops, and earthy tile flooring, while the bathrooms showcase light wood vanities, traditional fixtures, and a glass block shower, all indicative of early 2000s styling. While functional and clean, these key areas show signs of being outdated and would likely require minor updates to meet current aesthetic preferences, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons

Significant Price Adjustment: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price of $2.995M to $2.399M, which might raise questions for potential buyers regarding initial overvaluation or market resistance.
Varied Local School Performance: While some nearby schools are highly rated, the presence of lower-rated high schools (e.g., Fremont High, Oakland International High School with a rating of 2) could be a concern for families prioritizing consistent top-tier public education.
Potential for Extensive Lot Maintenance: The expansive 20,898 square foot lot, described as 'elegantly cutting through to Westview below,' suggests a large, potentially sloped or terraced landscape that may require significant ongoing maintenance and landscaping effort.
