About this home

We found 3 Cons,7 Pros. Rank: price - $2.29M(54th), sqft - 3180(96th), beds - 3(50th), baths - 3(65th).

Designed and constructed by the acclaimed design team of Fred Herring (Architect) and Ray Worley (Engineer), 901 Laurelwood Drive is that rare opportunity to own a truly unique contemporary home nestled on the edge of acres of spectacular open space. Situated at the end of a highly romanticized and sought after street, the Laurelwood home has been thoughtfully refreshed, upgraded and is beautifully presented. Boasting 3,180 square feet of living space (per county records), a massive 32,557 square foot land parcel (per public records), mesmerizing views, multiple sun decks, unheard of storage space and an unfinished detached studio - this is truly one home you will not want to miss! For those who might be "stairs averse", the interior elevator serves each level - making it a breeze to age gracefully in place. Private, serene and brilliantly located at the edge of a spectacular open space forest - unique does not adequately describe the Laurelwood home. Best yet, it is within minutes of hiking trails, Sugar Loaf Park, Hillsdale Mall, Laurelwood Shopping Center, multiple transportation options and so much more! If contemporary architecture, privacy, remarkable scenery, amazing wildlife and convenience are your vibe - we welcome your visit to 901 Laurelwood Drive...

Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1979, has been 'thoughtfully refreshed, upgraded and is beautifully presented' as per the description. While the general living areas appear clean with fresh paint and well-maintained flooring (a mix of carpet and hardwood), the kitchen is significantly dated. It features original-style wood cabinets and tiled countertops, which are characteristic of an older renovation or original construction from the 80s/90s. Although some appliances are stainless steel, they don't elevate the overall kitchen aesthetic to modern standards. The light fixtures in some areas also appear dated. No bathroom images were provided for assessment. Given the age of the property and the outdated kitchen, it falls into the 'Fair' category, indicating it is well-maintained but requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen, to meet contemporary tastes and standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

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 = 32557, living area = 3180.
Great Schools: Middle School: Ralston Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Carlmont High School (9/10).
Exceptional Location & Views: Prime position bordering acres of spectacular open space, offering end-of-street privacy, serenity, and mesmerizing views of City Lights, Hills, and Trees/Woods.
Architectural Pedigree: Designed by acclaimed architect Fred Herring and engineer Ray Worley, this property is a truly unique contemporary home with significant design distinction.
Generous Lot & Outdoor Living: Boasts a massive 32,557 square foot land parcel and multiple sun decks, providing extensive outdoor space and opportunities for enjoyment.
Enhanced Accessibility: Features an interior elevator serving every level, making the home highly accessible and suitable for aging in place or those with mobility needs.
Development Potential: Includes an unfinished detached studio, offering significant potential for conversion into an ADU, home office, gym, or other flexible use space.

Cons

Extended Market Time & Price Adjustment: The property has been on the market for 74 days and has undergone a price reduction, which may suggest initial overpricing or a slower market response.
Age of Construction (1979): While refreshed, the 1979 build year may imply older major systems or a need for further modernization to meet contemporary energy efficiency standards or buyer preferences.
Multi-Level Layout: Despite the presence of an elevator, the multi-level contemporary design might not appeal to all buyer segments, particularly those preferring single-story living or a more traditional floor plan.
