The overall aesthetic is fresh, modern, and move-in ready, indicating a comprehensive update within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Outdoor Access: Located in the desirable Del Cerro neighborhood, the property offers direct access to walking trails and Del Cerro Park, enhancing lifestyle and appeal.
Recent Major Upgrades: Features a brand new roof and a new outdoor pergola, indicating significant recent investment and reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Modern Interior Finishes: Boasts beautiful hardwood floors throughout and an updated, open galley kitchen, providing a contemporary and move-in ready aesthetic.
Functional Single-Story Layout: A single-story home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including both a Master and Junior suite, offers versatile and accessible living arrangements.
Top-Rated School District: Zoned for highly-rated schools, including a 10-rated elementary school (Hearst Elementary) within walking distance, making it highly attractive to families.
Cons
Compact Square Footage: At 1552 sqft for 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the interior living space may feel compact for some buyers, especially given the property's price point.
Potential for Older Systems: While updated, the 1990 build year suggests that some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) might be original or older, potentially requiring future attention if not fully replaced.
High Price Per Square Foot: The list price of $1.295M for 1552 sqft results in a high price per square foot, which could be a point of negotiation or concern for value-conscious buyers in the current market.
