Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained but largely retains its original 1980s aesthetic. The kitchen features dated oak cabinets, small square tile countertops, and older appliances, indicating a need for a full renovation to meet current standards. The primary bathroom also exhibits a very dated style with matching tile countertops, oak vanity, and brass fixtures. While functional and clean, the home shows clear signs of being outdated in its major components and has not undergone significant modern renovations, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Blossom Hill Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: C. T. English Middle School (9/10). High School: Los Gatos High School (10/10).
Prime Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Almaden Valley neighborhood, offering excellent access to major highways (HWY 85, Almaden Expressway), and proximity to shopping centers like Costco, Whole Foods, and Westfield Mall, along with numerous stores and restaurants.
Top-Rated Schools: Benefits from being in a top-rated school district, with highly-rated public schools including Los Gatos High School (10), C. T. English Middle School (9), and Los Alamitos Elementary School (8) in the vicinity, making it attractive for families.
Functional Single-Story Layout: Features a desirable single-story floor plan with separate living, dining, and family rooms, a breakfast nook, and high ceilings, providing a versatile and inviting space suitable for both entertaining and daily living.
Desirable Interior Amenities: Equipped with central A/C, an indoor washroom, spacious bedrooms, a 3-car garage, and a primary suite boasting a walk-in closet, French doors leading to the backyard, double sinks, and a soaking tub.
Bright & Inviting Ambiance: The home is described as 'light and bright' while maintaining a 'warm and inviting' atmosphere, complemented by a 'nicely landscaped backyard' that enhances curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2433, other record living area = 2378.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1986, the property's age suggests that some original systems or finishes may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future updates or maintenance not explicitly detailed as completed.
Lack of Explicit Major Renovations: While generally described positively, the listing does not explicitly highlight recent high-value renovations (e.g., full kitchen/bath remodels beyond the primary, new roof, windows, updated plumbing/electrical) which could be a consideration for a property at this price point and age.
Generic Outdoor Description: The backyard is noted as 'inviting' and 'nicely landscaped,' but the description lacks specific details about high-value outdoor amenities (e.g., pool, extensive custom patio, outdoor kitchen, unique garden features) that might be expected in a luxury home.
