Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1978, making it 46 years old. While generally maintained, the kitchen features very dated yellow laminate countertops, a yellow sink, and a mix of older and newer appliances (stainless steel range, white dishwasher). The cabinets, described as 'glistening maple,' appear worn dark wood in the images. The bathrooms are significantly outdated, particularly one with distinct light blue wall tiles and older vanities. The seller is offering credits for 'new carpet, custom upgrades, cosmetic desirables, and repairs,' and the property is sold 'As-Is,' indicating a clear need for cosmetic updates and some repairs. The home is functional but shows its age and requires minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
This 2,580 sq. ft. 3-story home boasts generous living areas, including a 'massive great room' on the lower level with its own bathroom, offering flexibility for various uses and abundant natural light.
The property features a massive 7,971 sq ft lot, covering two lots, which provides an exceptionally large backyard ideal for outdoor activities, entertaining, or future landscaping.
The seller is offering substantial credits for new carpet, custom upgrades, cosmetic desirables, and repairs with a full-price offer, providing a unique opportunity for buyers to personalize the home and save on initial improvement costs.
The property has undergone substantial price reductions from an original list price of $950,000 to $775,000, coupled with the seller being 'MOTIVATED' and a 'LIMITED-TIME OPPORTUNITY,' which may signal market resistance or a need for a quick sale.
Being sold 'As-Is,' the buyer assumes full responsibility for any necessary repairs or unforeseen issues, which could lead to additional expenses beyond the offered seller credits.
Several nearby public high schools, such as Castlemont High and Fremont High, have low ratings (1 and 2 out of 10 respectively), which could be a significant deterrent for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
