Analysis of 965 California Street, Mountain View, California 94041 is currently available with a list price of $1,850,000. The property maintains a Good Condition Rating (78/100), reflecting solid structural condition with well-maintained systems. The property presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in ready home. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Mountain View Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is move-in ready.
While originally built in 1926, the property shows clear signs of a mid-term renovation (estimated 5-15 years) with modern recessed lighting, refinished hardwood floors, and brand-new stainless appliances. The home is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring updated sliding glass doors and a seismically strapped water heater, though its age and 'expand later' description suggest it is not a total recent gut renovation.
Situated less than two blocks from Castro Street, this property offers exceptional walkability to Mountain View's premier dining, shopping, and the Caltrain station.
The 4,250 sqft lot and detached garage provide a significant opportunity for future expansion or the addition of an ADU in a high-demand Silicon Valley neighborhood.
The home features brand-new stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and refinished hardwood floors, offering a move-in ready experience with modern comforts.
With only 864 square feet of living area, the home is quite compact, resulting in a very high price-per-square-foot that may deter buyers needing more interior room.
The property contains only one Jack and Jill style bathroom, which can be a functional drawback for families and may impact long-term resale value compared to multi-bath homes.
Charming home just moments to downtown Mountain View. Situated less than two blocks from Castro Street, this home offers the best of two worlds. Close to downtown with a variety of restaurants, shopping, farmer's market and Caltrain while also enjoying the privacy of a single-family home with a spacious backyard and deck. The generous living room/dining room offers recessed lighting, a fireplace and hardwood floors. Two bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom. The back bedroom opens to an expansive deck. Kitchen has abundant storage and brand-new stainless appliances. The inviting backyard features a deck, lush lawn and a detached one car garage. This home is an opportunity to enjoy now and expand later.
