Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1976, making it 48 years old. While the home is well-maintained with fresh paint and recessed lighting, the kitchen, though updated, features black appliances, granite countertops, and white tile flooring that appear to be from a renovation 15-25 years ago, rather than a recent one. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with functional major components that show signs of being outdated. No bathroom images were provided, but it's reasonable to assume they would be of a similar vintage to the kitchen updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strategic Silicon Valley Location: Unbeatable proximity to tech giants (Apple, Nvidia), Downtown Sunnyvale, major retailers (Costco, Whole Foods), and Caltrain, offering unparalleled convenience for commuters and daily needs.
Top-Tier School District: Located within the highly-rated Santa Clara school district, including Braly Elementary, Peterson Middle, and Wilcox High, making it exceptionally attractive to families.
Well-Maintained & Functional Layout: Described as 'beautifully maintained' single-story home with a practical 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout, featuring recessed lighting and a master bedroom with a serene backyard view.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: An inviting outdoor deck and mature fruit trees provide a private and appealing space for relaxation and entertaining.
Competitive Pricing & Value Potential: The listing price is below the estimated market value, suggesting a strong investment opportunity or immediate equity for the discerning buyer.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1976, the home is nearly five decades old, which may imply original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Dated Architectural Feature: The mention of a 'sunken living room' is an architectural style from the era that may not appeal to all modern buyers and could be perceived as a design challenge or safety concern.
Lack of Specific Modern Renovations: While well-maintained, the description doesn't highlight recent major renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, windows), which might lead buyers to anticipate additional investment for contemporary updates.
