More Insights
Built in 1978 (48 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1978, features recent cosmetic updates including newer interior paint, LVP flooring, and updated light fixtures in the main living areas and bedrooms, which are positive. However, the kitchen and both bathrooms are significantly outdated with original or very old cabinets, orange laminate countertops, dated tile flooring, and vintage appliances (including a coil-top range and built-in microwave). While functional, these areas require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. The overall condition is a blend of recently refreshed spaces and very dated core areas, placing it in the 'fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and significant updates are needed in key areas.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Robert E. Willett Elementary School (9/10). High School: Davis Senior High School (9/10).
Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent location near UC Davis, offering convenient freeway access, proximity to Arroyo Park, walking paths, and a direct bus line to the university, enhancing its appeal for various demographics.
Versatile Buyer Appeal: Explicitly marketed as suitable for investors, downsizers, and first-time buyers, this property's features and location cater to a broad range of potential purchasers.
Recent Interior Updates: The home features newer interior paint, LVP flooring, and updated light fixtures, providing a fresh, modern, and move-in ready aesthetic for new owners.
Functional Layout & Flexible Space: With a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout, a two-car garage, a large kitchen with ample counter space, and a dedicated flex room, the property offers practical living and adaptable spaces.
No Association Fees: A significant financial advantage, the property benefits from having no association fees, reducing the ongoing cost of ownership for buyers.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1978, the property's age may imply that core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) could be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades despite recent cosmetic updates.
Half-Plex Configuration: As a 'half plex,' the property shares a wall with an adjoining unit, which might lead to reduced privacy or potential noise transfer compared to a fully detached single-family home, a consideration for some buyers.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: While a fireplace is noted for cool nights, the description does not mention a cooling system (such as central air conditioning), which could be a significant drawback during the hot summer months in Davis.
