Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1958 but features significant updates that appear to be in the 10-20 year range. The kitchen has been renovated with solid surface counters and quality cabinetry, though the white appliances are slightly dated. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and the primary suite includes a modernized bathroom with a jetted tub. The home is functional and move-in ready.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Cul-de-Sac Location
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with direct walking path access to El Paseo de Saratoga and proximity to highly-rated schools, offering a perfect blend of privacy and convenience.
- Spacious and Functional Layout
The 2,147 sqft floor plan features a desirable separation between living areas and bedrooms, complemented by vaulted ceilings in the family room and hardwood floors throughout.
- Expansive Primary Suite
The primary suite is notably large for the area, featuring a walk-in closet and a generous bathroom with dual sinks, a jetted tub, and a separate stall shower.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
- Unfinished Backyard
The backyard is described as a 'blank canvas,' suggesting it currently lacks landscaping and will require additional investment to create a functional outdoor living space.
- Dated Infrastructure Potential
Built in 1958, the home may require modernization of its kitchen and secondary bathrooms to align with the contemporary expectations of the $2.2M price point.
