Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1988, this townhome is 36 years old. While the description states it 'shows like a model home' and some areas like the dining room feature updated flooring and a modern light fixture, the bathroom clearly shows an outdated vanity and countertop, likely original or from an older renovation. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but the visible outdated elements suggest it requires minor updates to fully modernize, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for properties built within the last 25-40 years with occasional updates rather than extensive recent renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: The property is situated in the 'very desirable Martinelli area' of Watsonville, indicating a sought-after neighborhood.
Excellent Condition: The description states the home 'shows like a model home,' suggesting it is well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing, requiring minimal immediate updates.
Reasonable HOA Dues: The association fees are noted as 'very reasonable,' which is a significant financial benefit for townhome ownership.
Functional Layout: With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the townhome offers a practical and comfortable living space suitable for individuals, couples, or small families.
Recent Price Adjustment: The property has seen a recent price reduction from $675,000 to $669,000, potentially indicating a motivated seller and better value for buyers.
Cons
Limited Square Footage: At 989 sqft, the property is on the smaller side for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, which might be a constraint for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Age of Property: Built in 1988, the home is over 35 years old, which could mean some original systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially leading to future maintenance costs.
Undefined School District Information: The high school district is listed as 'Other,' which lacks specific information and may be a concern for buyers prioritizing particular school ratings or districts.
