Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1990, this property has clearly undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, making it a turnkey residence. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, a dark island, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a dual oven and gas cooktop), granite countertops, and contemporary pendant lighting. The bathrooms are equally impressive, showcasing modern vanities, rectangular sinks, subway tiling in showers, glass enclosures, and a luxurious freestanding tub in the primary bath. Throughout the home, hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a clean, contemporary aesthetic indicate recent updates, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: The property boasts sweeping 180° views from every level, including Bay views, significantly enhancing its appeal and perceived value.
Turnkey & High-End Features: Described as a 'turnkey' residence with elegant finishes, abundant natural light, a spectacular primary suite, custom wine cellar, dual-oven kitchen with island and pantry, and four fireplaces, indicating a move-in ready luxury experience.
Generous Living Space: With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 5145 sqft of living space, the home offers ample room for both gracious entertaining and tranquil family living.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Nestled above the heart of San Carlos, it provides moments-away access to downtown shops and dining, with convenient proximity to Silicon Valley, SFO, and San Francisco.
Top-Rated School District: Located within the highly desirable Arundel Elementary, Tierra Linda Middle, and Carlmont High school districts, a major draw for families.
Cons
Lot Size vs. Home Size: The lot size of 8795 sqft, while respectable, may be considered modest for a 5145 sqft home, potentially limiting expansive outdoor living areas.
Age of Construction: Built in 1990, while well-maintained and 'turnkey,' some buyers might prefer newer construction or anticipate potential updates to certain systems or aesthetics over time.
Lack of Explicit Outdoor Amenities: The description emphasizes views but does not explicitly mention specific outdoor amenities such as a pool, extensive patio, or elaborate landscaping, which might be expected in a luxury property of this caliber.
