Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Excellent
TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a high-end, comprehensive renovation within the last 5 years. It features a modern chef's kitchen with a quartz waterfall island, updated bathrooms with full tile walls and motion-sensor mirrors, and contemporary flooring throughout. Systems including the HVAC and appliances appear recently updated, placing it in mint condition despite the 1960 build date.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High-End Modern Upgrades
The home features a sophisticated chef’s kitchen with a quartz waterfall island and a luxurious primary suite with custom wood-paneled accents and a bespoke closet system, offering a premium move-in-ready experience.
- Prime Cambrian Location
Ideally situated in a quiet neighborhood with access to top-rated schools and walking distance to local farmers markets, the property offers a perfect balance of suburban tranquility and urban convenience near major tech hubs.
- Expansion and ADU Potential
The generous 6,875 sq. ft. lot, combined with an existing permitted sunroom, provides significant flexibility for outdoor entertaining or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to maximize property value.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1435, other record living area = 1095.
- Pricing Volatility
A substantial $200,000 price reduction after 26 days on the market suggests the property was initially positioned above market value, which may lead to buyer scrutiny regarding its appraisal value.
- Vintage Core Systems
While the interior is beautifully renovated, the 1960s construction may involve aging underlying infrastructure, such as plumbing or electrical systems, that could require future capital expenditure.
