Condition Analysis

Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, the home is well-maintained with cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new carpet. However, the kitchen is dated with white tile countertops, older wood cabinetry, and white appliances, suggesting a renovation older than 20 years. While functional and move-in ready, the age of the core finishes and the 75-year-old structure place it in the Fair category according to the criteria.
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 = 9600, living area = 1427.
- Premier Location and Schools
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Saranap neighborhood, this property offers access to top-rated Lafayette schools and is minutes from downtown shopping, dining, and BART.
- Expansive Level Lot

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Bed and Bath Count
With only two bedrooms and a single bathroom, the current footprint may be restrictive for families or buyers seeking a modern primary suite.
- Dated Kitchen Configuration
The eat-in galley kitchen, while functional and offering garden views, reflects a traditional layout that may feel narrow compared to modern open-concept preferences.
