Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1948, this home has been 'lovingly maintained' with hardwood floors and fresh paint. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and tile flooring, but the cabinet style, countertops, and backsplash appear to be from an older renovation (likely 10-20 years ago) rather than a recent modern update. The bathrooms are clean and functional but are clearly dated in style, suggesting renovations from 15-30 years ago or very well-maintained originals. While the property is move-in ready and has some modern light fixtures, the overall age of the home and the dated nature of the bathrooms, combined with the lack of central air conditioning, place it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Ralston Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Carlmont High School (9/10).
Panoramic Bay & City Views: The property offers stunning, expansive bay and city views from multiple vantage points, including the primary suite and deck, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Desirable San Mateo Knolls Location: Situated in the highly sought-after San Mateo Knolls neighborhood, providing access to good schools, trails, shopping, and convenient transportation/freeway access.
Versatile & Expansive Living Spaces: An expanded home featuring a large family room with vaulted ceilings, a bonus room (potential 5th bedroom/office), and an additional downstairs family room, offering flexibility for multi-family living or diverse needs.
Updated Kitchen & Interior Finishes: The eat-in kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and tile flooring, complemented by hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout much of the home, indicating recent aesthetic and functional updates.
Ample Storage & Utility Space: Includes over 500 sq ft of stand-up storage, a dedicated workshop, and a two-car garage, providing significant practical space for hobbies, storage, and vehicles.

Cons

Age of Core Systems: Built in 1948, while 'lovingly maintained,' the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or require significant updates not explicitly mentioned in the description.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer periods in California.
Potentially Dated Bathrooms: While the kitchen is highlighted as updated, there is no mention of renovations to the bathrooms, suggesting they may be original or less modern compared to other parts of the home.
