Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1954, this property shows an interior that has not been updated in over 30 years. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated tile work and older fixtures, while the listing description explicitly markets the home as a 'canvas' and 'opportunity' for renovation. The exterior stucco shows wear and the backyard is unlandscaped, indicating the home requires a full rehab to meet modern standards.
The property is zoned for California High School, a highly-rated institution, and is located moments from Los Altos Elementary, making it highly attractive for families prioritizing education.
Sitting on a generous 6,784 square foot lot, the property provides ample space for a potential ADU, custom pool, or significant outdoor expansion to increase future value.
Featuring four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home offers a higher room count and more functional living space than many standard three-bedroom residences in the immediate neighborhood.
The marketing emphasis on 'potential' and 'renovating over time' suggests the 1954 interior is likely dated and will require immediate capital investment for aesthetic and functional upgrades.
Given the 1954 construction date, the property may face maintenance challenges associated with original systems, such as plumbing or electrical, that may not meet modern efficiency standards.
