Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1900, this multi-unit property is aged but appears to be maintained and functional, as it is fully occupied. However, the images reveal significantly outdated kitchens with older appliances (coil-top stoves, white refrigerators), basic cabinetry, and dated countertops. Bathrooms feature pedestal sinks and basic fixtures, indicating a lack of modern updates. The presence of window AC units suggests no central cooling. While livable, the property requires substantial cosmetic and system updates to meet current standards and appeal, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged, maintained through regular upkeep, but with major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Producing Asset: The property is a fully occupied 5-unit asset (1 1bd/1ba and 4 Studios), offering immediate income generation for investors.
Prime Los Gatos Location: Situated in a prestigious Los Gatos neighborhood, within walking distance to Downtown, enhancing desirability and potential appreciation.
Ample Parking: Includes a parking lot for 5 cars, a significant advantage in a walkable, desirable area.
Separate Utilities: Each unit has separate meters, simplifying utility management and tenant billing for the owner.
Charming Features & Views: Features a charming front porch, common patio, high ceilings, large windows, and some units offer mountain, valley, or city light views.

Cons

Limited Access for Showings: The property is 'drive-by only' with instructions not to disturb tenants, severely limiting a buyer's ability to conduct thorough interior inspections and due diligence.
Age of Property: Built in 1900, the property is very old, suggesting potential for significant deferred maintenance, outdated systems, and higher capital expenditure requirements.
Predominantly Studio Units: Four out of five units are studios, which may attract a specific tenant demographic and could potentially lead to higher turnover or lower per-unit rental income compared to properties with larger units.
