The property, built in 1979, is explicitly described as a 'Fixer Opportunity' and 'ready for renovation.' Multiple interior images show rooms gutted down to the studs and subfloor, with exposed wiring and framing, indicating a need for complete overhaul of finishes, electrical, and plumbing systems. While one image displays a modern, renovated kitchen, this contradicts the 'fixer' description and other gutted photos, suggesting it's either a rendering, a different unit, or virtual staging. No finished bathrooms are shown, implying they are also in need of full renovation. The property is not habitable in its current state and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Ralston Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Carlmont High School (9/10).
Desirable Location & Privacy: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Sugarloaf neighborhood, this end-unit home offers enhanced privacy and a tranquil setting steps from Laurelwood Park.
Panoramic Canyon Views: The property boasts serene canyon, hill, and park views from multiple rooms and a private balcony off the primary suite, providing a strong connection to nature.
Significant Renovation Potential: Marketed as a 'Fixer Opportunity,' it offers substantial potential for modernization, reconfiguration, and the addition of a fourth bedroom, allowing buyers to customize and build value.
Bright & Open Interior: Features vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light throughout, creating an airy and inviting living space with large windows overlooking the canyon.
Excellent Accessibility & Schools: Conveniently located near shopping, top-rated schools (e.g., Fox Elementary, Aragon High), and major highways (92/280) for easy commutes to SF/Silicon Valley.

Cons

Extensive Renovation Required: Explicitly described as a 'Fixer Opportunity' and 'ready for renovation,' indicating significant capital investment and effort will be needed to update its dated interior and systems.
Age of Property: Built in 1979, the home likely retains many original components and finishes, which may not meet current aesthetic or functional expectations and could lead to higher maintenance costs.
High Association Fee: A considerable association fee of $800.0 adds a significant recurring cost, which is a notable expense for a single-family residence and could impact affordability.
