Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Amador Valley High School (9/10).
Historic Charm & Extensive Renovation: A rare 1906 Queen Ann Victorian, meticulously 'Renovated & Updated Down to the Studs,' seamlessly blending historic character with modern functionality and comfort.
Prime Downtown Location: Located in the desirable Historic Downtown Pleasanton District, offering exceptional walkability to dining, shopping, entertainment, concerts in the park, and the farmers market.
Versatile Auxiliary Spaces: Includes a 300 SqFt guest quarters/office with a full bathroom above the detached 2-car garage, plus an additional detached office/gym/playroom, providing significant flexibility for various needs.
High-End Craftsmanship & Period Details: Boasts quality craftsmanship, 10-foot ceilings, original 120+ year old fir wood flooring, classic oversized crown molding, period-specific fixtures, and a gourmet kitchen with Viking range and soapstone counters.
Large, Secluded Lot: Situated on a substantial 0.24-acre (10,375 sqft) secluded lot, providing ample outdoor space, privacy, and a rare find for a downtown property.

Cons

Listing Price vs. Estimated Value: The current listing price of $2.848M is approximately 14% higher than the estimated property value of $2.448M, which may be perceived as an aggressive pricing strategy by potential buyers.
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: Despite extensive renovations, a 1906 property may still present unique maintenance challenges or require specialized care inherent to historic homes, potentially incurring ongoing costs.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: While 'renovated down to the studs' implies modern systems, the description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a concern for buyers during warmer months in California.
