Condition Rating
Good
The property features a recently remodeled kitchen with high-end Cristalo Quartzite and Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern wood-look tile flooring, which is in excellent condition. One of the three bathrooms has also been updated with modern fixtures and finishes. However, two of the bathrooms, including the primary suite with a red jetted tub and dated tiling, are significantly outdated and would require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic standards. While the home is move-in ready and well-maintained, the inconsistency in renovation across all key areas prevents an 'Excellent' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Modern, Remodeled Kitchen: The kitchen has been recently remodeled with high-end materials including a Cristalo Quartzite island, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, offering a contemporary and functional cooking space.
Flexible Downstairs Spaces: The property boasts an expansive downstairs bonus room with a full bathroom, perfect for a playroom, game room, or home theater, along with an 800 SqFt storage area that can be converted into a home gym or workshop, adding significant utility and versatility.
Prime Location with Top Schools: Located within walking distance to highly-rated Carlmont High School (9/10) and other excellent schools, making it an ideal choice for families prioritizing education.
Convenient Single-Story Living: The main floor offers desirable single-story living with all four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ease of access and comfortable, practical living for residents.
Bright and Open Living Area: The main floor is characterized by an open and airy layout with abundant natural light, creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere throughout the primary living areas.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1965, the property is nearly 60 years old. While the kitchen is remodeled, other major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or require significant updates, potentially leading to unforeseen costs for a buyer.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a $100,000 price reduction from its original list price. This could suggest that the initial pricing was ambitious or that market interest has been lower than anticipated, potentially indicating a need for further price adjustments or a longer time on market.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system. For a home of this age and in the San Carlos area, the absence of central air conditioning could be a significant drawback, especially during warmer months, and would require a substantial investment to install.
