Condition Analysis

Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1930, this home is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen and bathroom feature older finishes and basic fixtures likely renovated over 15-20 years ago. The reliance on window AC units indicates a lack of modern central HVAC, and the overall structure shows its age despite being move-in ready.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Walkable Location
Ideally situated within walking distance to Downtown Sunnyvale, Caltrain, and Murphy Avenue, providing residents with easy access to premier dining, entertainment, and public transit.
- Flexible Layout & Bonus Space
The property features an additional office with an independent entrance and an oversized one-car garage, offering excellent versatility for remote work or creative use.
- Corner Lot Potential
Occupying a 5,002 sqft corner lot with dual entry points and mature fruit trees, the property offers significant potential for expansion or the addition of an ADU in a high-demand tech hub.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Living Space
With only 736 square feet of interior living area, the home's footprint is quite small, which may be a constraint for buyers seeking spacious common areas or larger bedrooms.
- Vintage Condition
Built in 1930 and described as 'oozing potential,' the home likely requires significant modernization and updates to its systems and finishes to meet contemporary standards.
