Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and features a high-end permitted kitchen remodel with premium stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops. While the structure dates back to 1951, the interior has been well-maintained with updated hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and modern fixtures. The outdoor living space is exceptional, featuring a professional-grade outdoor kitchen and bar. It falls into the 'good' category rather than 'excellent' because, while key areas are updated, it is not a brand-new construction or a total contemporary gut-renovation of the entire 1950s envelope.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15015, living area = 2142.

  • Expansive Corner Lot

    The massive 15,000+ sq. ft. corner lot with dual street access offers rare privacy and significant potential for expansion or the addition of a substantial ADU.

  • Premier Location

    Situated in the prestigious GATES neighborhood of Willow Glen, this property occupies a highly coveted street known for its long-term value and neighborhood prestige.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2142, other record living area = 1931.

  • Dated Infrastructure

    Originally built in 1951, the home may require significant modern updates or a full remodel to meet the expectations of luxury buyers at this price point.

  • Verification Risks

    The listing explicitly disclaims the accuracy of square footage and permitted spaces, necessitating additional due diligence and potential costs for the buyer to verify all property details.
