Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1936, this property is a well-maintained 'vintage charmer' with several recent updates such as fresh paint, new carpet, dual-pane windows, and modern stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen features dated 'country style' cabinets, laminate countertops, and fluorescent lighting. The bathrooms are clean and functional but also show dated vanities, countertops, and light fixtures. While move-in ready, the aesthetic of the kitchen and bathrooms suggests they were last updated more than 15-20 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

ADU Potential / Flexible Living Space: The downstairs area features a huge family room, kitchenette, laundry, bathroom, and two bedrooms with a separate entrance, offering significant potential for a granny unit, rental income, or multi-generational living.
Prime Location & School District: Located in the highly rated JOHN SWETT ELEMENTARY School district and close to Alhambra High School, with easy access to the Highway 4 commute corridor, Historic Downtown Martinez, and waterfront amenities.
Recent Updates & Move-in Ready Features: The property benefits from dual pane windows and fresh paint throughout, enhancing energy efficiency and presenting a well-maintained, move-in ready condition.
Charming Vintage Character: Described as a 'vintage charmer' with classic features like a Bay Window, canned lighting, moulding, and a country kitchen, appealing to buyers seeking unique character.
Excellent Outdoor Living Space: Features a large, flat, rock-walled grass backyard perfect for family fun, complemented by a covered wood deck across the back of the house for outdoor enjoyment.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Built in 1936, the property, despite some updates, may still have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback and potential expense for buyers during warmer months in California.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $869,950 is approximately 5% higher than the estimated property value of $828,408, which might impact buyer interest or negotiation leverage.
