Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1955, this home has been well-maintained but shows significant signs of its age. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated laminate countertops, linoleum flooring, and an older fluorescent light fixture, requiring a full renovation to meet modern standards. Bathrooms also exhibit older tile work, vanities, and fixtures. While functional, the property's interior finishes, including some worn hardwood floors and wood paneling, are outdated and necessitate substantial cosmetic and system updates, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Situated in Sunnyvale's highly desirable Birdland neighborhood, offering walking distance to major tech employer Apple and Kaiser Permanente, enhancing its appeal and potential for appreciation.
Strong School District Access: Proximity to highly-rated Laurelwood Elementary School (8/10 rating) within walking distance is a significant draw for families, contributing to long-term value.
Generous Space & Lot Size: A spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout spanning 2,469 sq. ft. on a substantial 6,720 sq. ft. lot provides ample living and outdoor potential, rare for the area.
Value-Add Opportunity: Described as 'ready for your personal touch,' this property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to customize and modernize, potentially increasing its value in a prime location.
Demonstrated Market Appeal: The 'Active Under Contract' status indicates strong buyer interest and validates the property's desirability and competitive positioning in the market.
Cons
Requires Significant Updates: Built in 1955 and noted as needing a 'personal touch,' the property likely requires substantial renovation and modernization to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
Potential for Outdated Systems: As an older home, it may feature original or aging infrastructure (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that could necessitate costly repairs or replacements in the near future.
Limited Immediate Availability: Being 'Active Under Contract' means the property is not currently available for new offers, which can be a drawback for interested buyers seeking immediate purchase opportunities.
