More Insights

Built in 1942 (83 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1942, has undergone significant recent updates, including a 'recently updated' kitchen with new counters, a new stove, and a modern tile backsplash. The hardwood floors were 'recently refinished' and appear in excellent condition. While the kitchen cabinets retain an older style, they are well-maintained and functional with modern appliances. The overall aesthetic is clean and move-in ready, with fresh paint and updated windows visible in the images. The description highlights 'modern, tasteful updates' and a 'practical addition.' However, the property's age (1942) and the noted 'Lack of Central Cooling System' prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, as it's not a newly built home or one that has undergone a full, extensive renovation of all systems within the last 5 years. The updates are substantial enough to place it firmly in the 'Good' category, indicating it's move-in ready with well-maintained systems and recent cosmetic improvements.

About this home

This darling, light-filled home combines the vintage charm of its original 1940s construction, with a wonderfully practical addition, and modern, tasteful updates. Boasting an excellent layout, with three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and its own full bath, this lovely home has everything you might want. The kitchen was recently updated with new counters, a new stove, and a beautiful tile backsplash. The hardwood floors were recently refinished. The outdoor spaces are very natural with mature plantings and fruit trees, as well as a shed/workshop and a greenhouse. There are entertaining spaces in both the front and back. Imagine having friends over for summer BBQs on the back deck, and sitting out on the front patio with your morning cup of coffee, watching the hummingbirds in the flowers and the squirrels chase each other around the redwood tree. This beautiful home offers the coziness and peace of your own little oasis, but is also close to major roadways, shops, restaurants, and businesses the perfect combination for Silicon Valley living!

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1207, other record living area = 790.
Older Construction: Built in 1942, while updated, the core structure's age may imply potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as fully modernized.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort consideration during warmer months.
No Dedicated Garage: While a shed/workshop is present, the property does not appear to have a dedicated garage, which is often a desired feature for parking and additional storage.
