Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, the home has received a cosmetic 'refresh' including new paint and LVP flooring, and a newer roof (2019). However, the kitchen cabinets and appliances are significantly dated, the bathrooms lack full modernization, and the exterior driveway shows notable cracking. It is functional and move-in ready but requires updates to major systems and rooms to reach a higher rating.
The home is move-in ready with fresh interior and exterior paint, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a roof replaced in 2019, significantly reducing immediate maintenance costs.
At 1,530 square feet, the layout includes a separate family room and a new covered patio, providing flexible options for a home office, media room, or indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Ideally situated on a quiet street with quick access to I-80 and Travis Air Force Base, making it a highly attractive option for military personnel and regional commuters.
The property features only 1.5 bathrooms, which may be a drawback for growing families or buyers specifically seeking two full bathrooms.
The assigned public schools currently hold lower performance ratings (3/10 and 4/10), which could be a concern for education-focused families and impact future appreciation.
Character and comfort meet on a quiet stretch of James St, just minutes from I-80 and Travis AFB. This single-story ranch home has been freshly refreshed from top to bottom, with new interior and exterior paint plus new front landscaping and a sprinkler system setting the tone before you even reach the door. Inside, 1,530 square feet offer 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, starting with a living room warmed by a brick fireplace and original hardwood floors that carry into the dining area, where a wall of windows brightens the space for everyday meals or gathering with guests. Just past the dining area, an additional family room extends the layout, complete with a brand-new sliding glass door to the patio, perfect as a second living area, home office, or media room. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space along with a cozy breakfast nook, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring carries through the kitchen, family room, and both bathrooms for a clean, updated feel throughout. The primary bedroom connects directly to a private half bath, while a full bath is shared with the additional bedrooms just off the hall. Central heat and air keep things comfortable year-round, and a roof replaced in 2019 adds peace of mind. Outside, the attached 2-car garage offers everyday convenience, and a new covered patio creates an easy spot to relax or entertain, while the open backyard, shaded by a mature tree, offers plenty of room to landscape, garden, or shape into the space you've been picturing.
