Property is move-in ready.
The property is in well-maintained, move-in ready condition. While originally built in 1955, major systems are in excellent shape with a roof replaced 2 years ago and HVAC replaced 4 years ago. The kitchen features a recent refresh with quartz countertops and stainless appliances, and the interior boasts updated flooring and recessed lighting, though some bathroom finishes remain dated.
High School: Piedmont Hills High School (9/10).
The property boasts excellent mechanical integrity with a roof replaced only two years ago and a furnace/AC system replaced four years ago, minimizing immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
Located in the Alum Rock foothills on a quiet street, the home offers serene hill views and is minutes away from 720 acres of hiking and outdoor recreation at Alum Rock Park.
With only 1,075 square feet of living space for a three-bedroom configuration, the room sizes and overall footprint may feel restrictive for larger families or those working from home.
While the high school is highly rated, the assigned elementary school has a significantly lower rating, which may be a concern for families prioritizing early childhood education performance.
