Condition Rating
Good
This 1976-built home has undergone extensive modern updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to have been renovated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen features granite counters, updated stainless appliances, tile floors, and new recessed lighting. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and subway tile surrounds. New carpet, paint, lighting, ceiling fans, and dual-pane windows contribute to a move-in ready condition. While the cosmetic updates are significant and high quality, the listing notes a potential weakness regarding the age of core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) which are not explicitly stated as replaced, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the property is clearly well-maintained and requires no immediate renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10019, living area = 2135.
Extensive Modern Updates: The home features significant recent updates including a remodeled kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances, new flooring, paint, lighting, ceiling fans, and dual-pane windows, offering a stylish and move-in ready experience.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Utility: Boasts a beautifully redesigned low-maintenance front yard with an elevated patio, a huge private backyard with a Trex deck, custom concrete play area, swing set, gardening space, and even a chicken coop, plus an extra-wide driveway with side gates for RV/boat parking.
Prime Location & Lifestyle Access: Situated in a desirable Fair Oaks neighborhood, offering immediate access to Northridge Country Club (golf, pickleball), American River Parkway trails, and Fair Oaks Village restaurants and parks.
Unique & Functional Interior Spaces: Includes a dedicated home theater room, a flexible remote 4th bedroom/office, a primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet, and convenient inside laundry, enhancing livability and versatility.
Enhanced Garage & Modern Amenities: The spacious garage provides extra storage areas, a hidden safe room, and an EV charger, catering to modern needs and security, all without the burden of HOA fees.

Cons

Age of Core Systems (Potential): Built in 1976, while many cosmetic updates are noted, the description does not explicitly detail replacements of major systems like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, which could be original or nearing end-of-life.
Split-Level Floor Plan: The split-level design, while updated, may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-story living or those with mobility considerations due to multiple staircases between levels.
Mixed Public School Ratings: Two of the nearby public schools, Kingswood Elementary and San Juan High School, have lower ratings (3/10), which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
