Condition Rating
Fair
This 1951 mid-century home is aged but appears well-maintained structurally, with a newer roof and foundation bracing. However, the kitchen features a charming vintage Wedgewood stove and older cabinetry, and the bathroom has a pink tub and dated fixtures, indicating these key areas are functional but significantly outdated and would require substantial aesthetic updates to meet modern standards. While livable, these elements move it beyond 'Good' condition, but the structural updates prevent it from being 'Poor'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Panoramic Views: The property offers fantastic views of San Francisco, Oakland, and Mt Tamalpais, significantly enhancing its desirability and potential value.
Enhanced Structural Integrity & Recent Upgrades: Features a newer roof and has been seismically braced and bolted, indicating significant recent investments in the home's long-term stability and maintenance.
Lush, Productive Backyard Oasis: Boasts a beautifully landscaped backyard with dedicated entertaining space, a mature succulent garden, and a diverse array of fruit trees, providing a private and appealing outdoor living environment.
Convenient Commuter Location: Situated on a peaceful street within the Redwood Heights subdivision, offering easy access to major freeways (I-580, Highway 13) and nearby shopping centers for daily convenience.
Charming Mid-Century Architecture with Spacious Interiors: The early mid-century home retains its character with large living and dining rooms, appealing to buyers who appreciate vintage charm and generous living spaces.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom, which may be a significant drawback for modern family living or for buyers seeking additional convenience and capacity.
Dated Kitchen Aesthetics: While possessing 'charming vintage' elements like a Wedgewood stove, the eat-in kitchen's overall aesthetic may be considered dated by many buyers and could necessitate a costly renovation to meet contemporary standards.
Potential for Systemic Updates: As a home built in 1951, despite a newer roof and structural bracing, other core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require updates, potentially incurring future costs for a new owner.
