Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1951, is well-maintained and clean, featuring good condition hardwood floors in some areas. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while functional, show clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen has white cabinets with black granite countertops and a diagonal tiled backsplash, along with older-style appliances. The bathrooms feature diagonal white wall tiles and traditional vanities, suggesting renovations that are likely 15-25 years old. While move-in ready, it would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Ralston Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Carlmont High School (9/10).
Versatile Bonus Space: The 200 sq. ft. downstairs utility room with new flooring, private entrance, and a half bath offers significant potential for an in-law suite, student housing, or flexible living space.
Prime Location: Situated in a sought-after San Mateo neighborhood, moments away from great schools, shopping centers, dining options, and parks, enhancing convenience and lifestyle.
Strong School Access: Proximity to several highly-rated public schools, including Hillsdale High (7/10, 0.51 miles) and Aragon High (8/10, 1.91 miles), appealing to families.
Outdoor Living Space: Features a gorgeous covered patio and a sunny backyard, providing an ideal setting for entertaining, barbecues, or gardening.
Spacious Layout: Offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms (2 full, 1 half), providing ample living space and convenience for families or professionals.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2300, other record living area = 1920.
Many Open Houses Held: The property is on market for 0 days and has already held 8 open houses.
Age of Construction: Built in 1951, the property may have original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) that could require significant maintenance or replacement in the near future.
Lack of Detailed Modern Updates: While 'modern convenience' is mentioned, the description lacks specific details on recent major renovations to key areas like the kitchen, main bathrooms, or windows, suggesting potential for further investment to fully modernize.
Mixed Closest School Ratings: Despite overall good school access, the two closest schools (Abbott Middle and Laurel Elementary) have lower ratings (4/10), which might be a consideration for buyers prioritizing the absolute highest-rated immediate neighborhood schools.
