Downstairs, a window bench offers a quiet spot to curl up with a book. Solar panels help keep monthly utility costs down.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1973, this 51-year-old home features a largely original kitchen with outdated appliances and cabinetry that require a full rehab. While solar panels have been added, the overall interior finishes, weathered exterior decking, and age of the structure fall into the poor category, necessitating significant updates and potential system overhauls.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8320, living area = 1551.
Positioned at the end of a no-through-traffic street, the property offers unparalleled privacy and sweeping panoramic views of the San Lorenzo Valley.
The inclusion of solar panels provides a significant financial advantage by reducing monthly utility costs and enhancing the home's overall energy efficiency.
A recent $60,000 price reduction after 30 days on the market indicates that the property may have been initially overvalued or is facing resistance in the current market climate.
Built in 1973, the property may require additional capital investment to update original systems or cosmetic finishes to meet the expectations of modern buyers.
