Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Updates: The property boasts a fully renovated kitchen with new cabinets and hardwood floors, along with refreshed bedrooms and bathrooms featuring a sleek, contemporary design, enhancing its move-in readiness and appeal.
Desirable Neighborhood & Location: Situated in a very quiet and safe Fairway Park neighborhood, it offers walkability to grocery stores and a fitness gym, plus easy access to Garin/Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Parks, appealing to families and young professionals.
Smart Home & Eco-Friendly Features: Equipped with a Smart LED lighting system for energy savings, central air conditioning for comfort, and a Tesla Level 2 EV charging station, catering to modern lifestyle demands.
Inviting Outdoor Living Space: The property features a beautiful and spacious backyard with mature fruit trees (Lemon, Apple, Pineapple Guava), perfect for outdoor dining, recreation, and gardening.
Significant Price Adjustment: A substantial price reduction from the original listing indicates a motivated seller and potentially offers a more attractive value proposition for prospective buyers.
Cons
Older Construction: Built in 1955, despite recent updates, the underlying age of the home may present long-term maintenance considerations or less efficient original infrastructure compared to newer constructions.
Subpar Middle School Rating: The closest middle school, Cesar Chavez Middle School, has a rating of 1, which could be a significant deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1399 sqft, the interior living space might be considered modest for some buyers, especially given the price point in the current market, potentially limiting flexibility for larger families or those desiring more expansive living areas.
