Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1957, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' and requires substantial renovation. The kitchen is extremely outdated with original or very old cabinets, laminate countertops, red tile backsplash, and patterned linoleum flooring. The single bathroom is likely in a similar condition. Throughout the home, flooring consists of worn carpet and old linoleum, and light fixtures are basic and dated. While the structure appears sound, the interior components are well past their expected lifespan and necessitate major updates to meet current quality standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Situated in the heart of Fremont, offering unparalleled convenience to Fremont Central Park, shops, restaurants, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes.
Significant Investment Potential: Marketed as a 'fixer' with 'endless potential to renovate, rent, or put down roots,' making it an attractive opportunity for value appreciation, further supported by a listing price below estimated value.
Generous Lot Size & Mature Landscaping: Features a substantial 6,000 sqft lot adorned with mature persimmon and citrus trees, providing ample outdoor space and natural beauty.
Scenic Mountain Views: The property boasts desirable views of the surrounding mountains, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and potential resale value.
Proximity to Top-Rated Schools: Located within a highly-regarded school district, with an 8-rated elementary school less than a quarter-mile away, appealing strongly to families.
Cons
Fixer Condition Requiring Renovation: The property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer,' indicating a need for substantial renovation and capital investment to modernize and improve its condition.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for three bedrooms, the property may present functional challenges and inconvenience for families or multiple residents.
Older Construction & Compact Interior: Built in 1957 with 950 sqft, the home's age and relatively smaller footprint may necessitate significant updates to meet contemporary living standards and space expectations.
