More Insights
Built in 1948 (77 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1948, has received recent cosmetic updates including new flooring, carpet, fresh paint, and new kitchen appliances (stove and refrigerator). The kitchen and bathroom appear clean and functional with updated fixtures and vanity, making the interior move-in ready. However, the significant age of the home (76 years old) suggests that major underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or outdated, even if currently functional. Crucially, the description explicitly states an 'extra large detached (but run down) garage,' indicating a significant area of deferred maintenance or required rehabilitation. While the interior is cosmetically refreshed, the overall age and the condition of the garage prevent it from being classified as 'Good' or 'Excellent.' It fits the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained through occasional updates, likely requiring further minor updates or repairs, especially concerning the garage and potential major system upgrades due to its age.

Significant Expansion Potential: The 5,000 sq ft lot and the explicit mention that 'most homes in this neighborhood have been expanded' highlight a clear opportunity for buyers to add square footage and value in the future.
Recent Cosmetic & Appliance Updates: Features new flooring, carpet, fresh paint, and new kitchen appliances (stove and refrigerator), providing a clean, updated, and move-in ready interior.
Desirable Interior Comforts: Equipped with central forced air heating, a cozy living room fireplace, ample natural light, and a convenient dedicated indoor laundry area, enhancing daily living.

Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which is a significant functional limitation for modern living and may necessitate future expansion or renovation.
Compact Interior Footprint: At 970 sq ft, the home's interior is relatively small, which might not meet the space requirements of all potential buyers, especially given the price point in San Carlos.
Deteriorated Detached Garage: The 'run down' condition of the extra-large detached garage, despite its potential, represents an immediate capital expenditure for renovation or demolition.
