Key pros and cons

Prime Location & Walkability: The property boasts an exceptional location, within steps of the highly-rated San Ramon Elementary School (5-rated), local shopping (Harvest Market), cafes (Trailhead Cafe), and recreational amenities like the Bay Club, Miwok Park, and Mt Burdell trails, offering unparalleled convenience and lifestyle.

Top Cons:

More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).

Condition: This property is described as a 'Remodeled San Marin Home' with 'modern updates' and an 'open kitchen with sit down island/counter,' suggesting a move-in ready condition. The exterior image shows a well-maintained home with good curb appeal. While built in 1964, the extensive remodel likely updated many key areas, including the kitchen and potentially bathrooms, to current standards. The primary drawback is the noted lack of central air conditioning, which is a missing amenity rather than a defect in existing systems. Overall, it appears to be a well-maintained home with recent significant updates, fitting the 'good' category.
