Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1953, this property is over 70 years old. While the kitchen features updated elements like granite countertops, a 5-burner gas stove, and a built-in bar with a mini-fridge, the description lacks details on the recency of these updates or the condition and style of the bathrooms, flooring throughout the rest of the home, light fixtures, or major systems (HVAC, electrical). Without images or further information on comprehensive renovations, it's assumed that while the kitchen has seen some improvements, other areas likely show their age or have dated updates. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, indicating an aged but maintained property where major components are functional but may appear outdated, and minor updates or repairs are likely needed.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Location & Amenities Access: Strategically located just minutes from Santana Row and Westfield Valley Fair, offering unparalleled access to high-end shopping, diverse dining, and entertainment.
Expansive & Mature Outdoor Living: Features an exceptionally large 9,525 sqft lot, unique for the area, boasting a lush garden oasis with abundant fruit trees, fragrant roses, and a private arbor, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Functional & Family-Oriented Floor Plan: The spacious ranch-style home offers an efficient 4-bedroom layout, including an ensuite primary, designed to comfortably accommodate growing families and large social gatherings.
Well-Appointed Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with desirable features such as a 5-burner gas stove, generous granite countertops, a built-in bar with mini-fridge, and a spacious dining area, enhancing culinary and entertaining experiences.
Desirable Ranch Architecture: The classic ranch-style architecture provides a sought-after single-story living experience, appealing to a wide range of buyers seeking convenience and accessibility.

Cons

Prolonged Market Duration: The property has been on the market since July 2022 at its initial list price, indicating potential overpricing or a lack of buyer interest that warrants further investigation.
Age of Construction & Potential Systems: Built in 1953, the home's age suggests potential for original or aging systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future updates or maintenance beyond the described kitchen improvements.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only two bathrooms for four bedrooms, the property may not meet the modern expectations for bathroom-to-bedroom ratio at this price point, potentially impacting buyer appeal.
