Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1990 (34 years old), the property falls into the 'Fair' category due to its age and dated interior elements. While it features a new roof (2 years old), fresh exterior paint, and updated quartz countertops, the kitchen cabinets, white appliances, and fluorescent lighting are original to the home. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but requires cosmetic modernization in the kitchen and bathrooms to move beyond its 30-year-old aesthetic.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from the 287-acre Martial Cottle Park, the property offers exceptional access to trails, community gardens, and outdoor activities.
The floor plan includes a rare ground-floor den and a full bathroom, providing a versatile space ideal for elderly parents, guests, or a private home office.
The home features significant high-value updates, including a two-year-old composition roof, new exterior paint, and a modernized kitchen with quartz countertops and a garden window.
At 3,834 square feet, the lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, which may limit outdoor expansion or large-scale landscaping projects.
While some nearby schools perform well, several assigned elementary and middle schools in the immediate vicinity have lower ratings, which may be a concern for education-focused buyers.
Great location on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, steps from Martial Cottle Park! This light-filled two-story single-family home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs plus a ground-floor den and full bathroom for multigenerational living. The large kitchen, with a garden window, quartz countertops and backsplash, opens to a spacious living and dining area with a fireplace and sliding doors to the backyard. Step outside to a low-maintenance backyard with a paved patio for outdoor dining and barbecues, along with pear and fig trees. Abundant dual-pane windows and upstairs skylights bring in natural light, while an indoor laundry closet with built-in folding counter adds convenience. Additional highlights include new exterior paint, Pergo flooring, a two-year-old composition roof, an attached two-car garage, driveway parking for 3 to 4 additional vehicles, and refreshed, low-maintenance front landscaping with a guava tree. Enjoy nearby Martial Cottle Park, a 287-acre urban park and working farm featuring trails, gardens, and community programs. Conveniently located near Kaiser, Oakridge Mall, Costco, Lowes, and other shopping/dining, with easy access to Highways 85, 87 and 101, Caltrain, and VTA light rail, this home is a must-see to fully appreciate its character and value.
