Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1971, this property has received recent significant maintenance updates including a new roof, gutters, water heater, and fresh interior/exterior paint, which are strong positives for its overall condition. The main living areas and bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and appear well-maintained. However, the kitchen, with its wood cabinetry and dated tile countertops/backsplash, and the bathrooms with their older vanities and fixtures, are significantly outdated in style. The bonus sunroom also presents a very dated aesthetic with wood paneling and a drop ceiling. While functional and move-in ready from a structural and maintenance perspective, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to align with current market expectations and styles, placing it in the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Recent Upgrades: Features a brand new roof, gutters, water heater, and fresh interior/exterior paint, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner and enhancing curb appeal.
Exceptional Park-Side Location: Nestled on a quiet, no-through-traffic cul-de-sac directly adjacent to Casa Verde Park, offering serene green views, direct access to playgrounds and trails, and enhanced safety.
Versatile Bonus Sunroom: A spacious sunroom provides flexible living space, perfect for a home office, playroom, or additional family area, adding significant functional value to the home.
Generous Outdoor Living Space: An oversized ~6,800 sq ft lot boasts a large, private backyard with mature trees and a covered patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining, relaxation, and gardening.
Convenient Commuter & Amenity Access: Strategically located minutes from Union Landings shops/restaurants, Union City BART, and major freeways (I-880, Hwy 84), ensuring easy access to daily necessities and regional commutes.

Cons

Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1971, while some major components are new, other systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) may be original or dated, potentially requiring future investment.
Listed Above Estimated Market Value: The current list price of $1.29 million is approximately 5% higher than the property's estimated value of $1.225 million, which could impact buyer perception of value.
Unspecified Kitchen/Bathroom Modernization: The description highlights a 'good size kitchen' but does not specify recent remodels for either the kitchen or bathrooms, suggesting these areas might be original or require modernization to meet contemporary tastes.
