Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1950, presents a mixed condition. While one of the units (as seen in images 3-8) features a recently updated kitchen with modern white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, mosaic backsplash, recessed lighting, and contemporary wood-look laminate flooring, and a clean, updated bathroom, the second unit (images 10-16) and the recreation room (images 18-20) are significantly dated. The second kitchen has older white cabinets, black laminate countertops, basic white tile backsplash, and older appliances. Its bathrooms are also dated. The property lacks cooling, relying solely on a wall furnace heating system. Overall, the property is functional and appears maintained, but the inconsistent updates and the age of the core structure, coupled with the lack of modern amenities like central cooling, place it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it requires minor updates and repairs to bring all sections up to a consistent, modern standard.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Menlo Park Location: Situated in the desirable North Fair Oaks neighborhood of Menlo Park on a charming treelined street, offering a highly sought-after residential address.
Significant Income/Multi-Unit Potential: The property is configured as a duplex with an additional permitted recreation room, presenting a unique opportunity for rental income or multi-generational living arrangements.
Generous Lot Size & Practical Amenities: A substantial 6,738 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space, complemented by a convenient 2-car garage for parking and additional storage.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: Located within the Redwood City Elementary School District and zoned for the well-regarded Menlo-Atherton High School (rated 7), appealing to families.
Substantial Price Reduction: The current list price of $1.898M reflects a significant reduction from the original $2.298M, indicating a potential value opportunity for buyers.

Cons

Older Construction & Modernization Needs: Built in 1950, the property is older and will likely require substantial modernization, updates, and potential renovations to meet contemporary standards and buyer preferences.
Lack of Cooling System: The absence of a cooling system is a notable drawback, particularly in warmer months, and would necessitate an additional investment for installation to enhance comfort.
Permitting & Legal Use Ambiguity: The description of the home being 'divided into a duplex' and a back unit 'permitted as a recreation room' suggests potential non-conforming uses or significant investment required to fully legalize and optimize for multi-unit income.
