Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1964, this home presents as move-in ready due to significant recent updates in key areas. All three bathrooms have been extensively renovated with modern fixtures, tiling, and vanities, appearing to be within the last 5-15 years. The main living areas feature gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, and updated light fixtures, contributing to a well-maintained and appealing aesthetic. While the kitchen is functional with stainless steel appliances, its tiled countertops and traditional cabinetry are dated. The lower-level kitchenette is also basic and older. However, the overall condition, particularly the updated bathrooms and general cleanliness, elevates it beyond 'Fair' as it does not require immediate major renovations to be livable.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Mills High School (9/10).
Panoramic Views: The property boasts spectacular, captivating, and breathtaking panoramic views across two levels, encompassing the Bay, Bridge(s), City Lights, Hills, and Mountains, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Prime Location & Top Schools: Nestled in the desirable Millbrae hills, the home benefits from superb school ratings (High School 9/10) and offers easy access to Highway 280, providing a convenient commute between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
Spacious Multi-Level Living: The two-level layout provides extensive living space, including a main level with formal living/dining and a family room, plus a lower level featuring another large family room with a kitchenette and a fourth bedroom suite, offering versatility and privacy.
Generous Auxiliary Spaces: Practical amenities include an oversized two-car garage (approx. 600 SF), additional storage (approx. 254 SF), and a wide driveway, adding significant value and convenience for homeowners.
Well-Maintained Classic Charm: Described as a 'pristine home' with gleaming hardwood floors, crown moulding, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and oversized view windows, it presents a well-cared-for property with timeless architectural appeal.

Cons

Potential for Dated Systems/Finishes: Built in 1964, the property, despite being pristine, may feature original or older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and 'tile finishes' in the kitchen, which might not meet modern buyer expectations and could necessitate future updates.
Significant Price Reduction: A recent 20% price drop from $2.398M to $1.998M could indicate the initial listing was overpriced or that market demand at the higher price point was insufficient, potentially raising questions about its current market valuation.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which is common for homes built in 1964 and could be a notable drawback for buyers during warmer periods, potentially requiring a costly installation.
