Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Panoramic Views: Located in the highly desirable Portola Valley, this property offers breathtaking Windy Hill views from every floor, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Extensive Whole-Home Remodel: The property has undergone a comprehensive whole-home remodel, including new interior/exterior paint, redone bamboo and hickory floors, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances, ensuring a modern and move-in ready condition.
Rare Level Land & Usable Lot: A standout feature is the rare level land on a just over half-acre lot, providing exceptional and highly sought-after outdoor space for entertaining and recreation in a typically hilly region.
Abundant Natural Light: Large windows and strategically placed skylights in almost every room ensure the house is consistently filled with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming ambiance.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Formal living and dining rooms extend to expansive decks at both the front and rear, offering ideal spaces for fresh air entertaining and outdoor activities, a hard-to-find feature.
Cons
Age of Original Structure: Despite the comprehensive remodel, the home's original build year of 1978 might be a consideration for buyers who prefer newer construction or have concerns about underlying older systems not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Monthly Association Fee: The property carries a monthly association fee of $540, which adds a recurring cost to homeownership that potential buyers will need to factor into their budget.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a price reduction from its original list price, which, while a common market adjustment, might lead some potential buyers to question the initial pricing strategy or perceived market value.
