Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970 and held by the same owners for over 50 years, the property shows exceptional pride of ownership and is move-in ready. However, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated mid-century styles and older appliances that, while functional and well-maintained, do not meet modern renovation standards. The home requires cosmetic updates to flooring and fixtures to align with current market trends, though it benefits from functional upgrades like solar power.
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 = 7320, living area = 1512.
- Prime Location & Accessibility
The property is ideally situated within walking distance of Oak Ridge Mall, Light Rail, and the Guadalupe River Trail, offering exceptional convenience and easy access to major Silicon Valley freeways.
- Exceptional Pride of Ownership
Coming to the market for the first time since 1970, this meticulously maintained midcentury home features a functional layout, on-grid solar power, and an extra-wide two-car garage.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Below-Average School Ratings
The assigned public schools have ratings ranging from 3 to 5, which may be a drawback for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
- Potential Need for Modernization
While the home has been lovingly maintained, the 1970s original finishes and midcentury aesthetic may require additional capital investment for buyers seeking contemporary upgrades.
