Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 2000, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready with functional systems like central AC and a newer Generac. The kitchen features updated granite countertops and a gas range, but the cabinet style and non-integrated microwave suggest the update may not be very recent. The bathrooms, particularly one with a pedestal sink, show signs of being outdated. While the home has good features like hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and bathrooms aligns with a property that has been maintained with regular upkeep and occasional updates, but where some elements are showing their age, fitting the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Fire Safety & Preparedness: The property is 'Cal Fire Defensible Space Approved,' a significant advantage in California, offering peace of mind and potentially lower insurance costs in a wooded area.
Versatile Detached Studio: A detached studio, not included in the main square footage, provides flexible space for a home office, au pair, elder care, or other uses, adding considerable value and utility.
Extensive Outdoor Amenities: Situated on a sunny, half-acre lot with a wrap-around deck, patio, spa/hot tub, fruit trees, herb garden, and poultry coop, catering to an outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
Modern Interior Comforts & Updates: Features an updated kitchen with granite countertops, central AC, ceiling fans, hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings, and skylights, ensuring modern comfort and appeal.
Enhanced Utility & Practical Features: Includes a newer Generac generator for power outages, an inside laundry room, large attic storage, a 1+ car garage, and ample parking, addressing practical needs and convenience.

Cons

Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a significant price reduction from $1.1M to $995K, which could indicate it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges attracting buyers.
Niche Location Appeal: While offering 'small town living' in Boulder Creek, its specific mountain community setting may appeal to a more niche buyer pool, potentially affecting market time compared to more suburban areas.
Modest Main House Square Footage: At 1,812 square feet for the main residence, some buyers might perceive the interior living space as modest for a property listed at nearly $1 million, despite the detached studio.
