Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1956 and offered for the first time, the property has received recent cosmetic refreshes including new paint, carpet, and LVP flooring. However, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with older tile countertops and cabinetry exceeding the 20-year threshold. While move-in ready, the home features original-style wood paneling and popcorn ceilings, indicating a need for modernization of major systems and aesthetic updates to meet current standards.
High School: Mills High School (9/10).
Situated on a desirable corner lot in Millbrae Meadows, the property offers excellent access to Hwy 280 for Silicon Valley commuters and is steps away from Sawyer Camp Road trails.
The home features significant recent improvements, including new interior and exterior paint, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and professionally refinished original hardwood floors.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
Being on the market for the first time since 1956, the property may require future investments to modernize original major systems such as plumbing, electrical, or insulation.
While the 6,603 sqft lot is level and well-landscaped, it is relatively standard for the area, which may limit significant further expansion or large-scale outdoor development.
