Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1953, the property has received recent cosmetic updates such as new laminate flooring and fresh paint, making it clean and move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated white cabinets, older laminate countertops, and white appliances that appear to be past their prime. The bathrooms also show older vanities and fixtures. While functional, these areas require minor updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9514, living area = 1198.
Prime Fremont Location: Situated in a highly sought-after Bay Area city, offering strong market demand and access to a vibrant community.
Excellent School District Access: Zoned for Fremont Unified, with highly-rated elementary (Tom Maloney, rating 8) and high schools (Washington High, rating 7) within close proximity, appealing to families.
Substantial Price Adjustment: A significant $251,000 reduction from the original list price presents a more competitive and potentially attractive entry point for buyers in a high-value market.
Generous Lot Size: The 9,514 sqft lot offers ample outdoor space, potential for landscaping, gardening, or future expansion opportunities, which is valuable in the Bay Area.
Established Community: Built in 1953, the home is part of a mature neighborhood, often characterized by stable communities, developed infrastructure, and a sense of permanence.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Fee: A considerable $432 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which is unusual for a single-family residence and can impact affordability.
Older Home Systems/Design: Built in 1953, the property may require updates to plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or interior finishes to meet modern standards and preferences, potentially incurring additional costs.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1,198 sqft, the living space is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom home in this price range and market, potentially limiting spaciousness and appeal to buyers seeking larger homes.
