Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1981, has received recent cosmetic updates such as new laminate flooring throughout and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features outdated light wood cabinets, speckled countertops, and a mix of older white and black appliances, along with an old fluorescent light fixture. The bathrooms also show significant age with dated vanities, countertops, and especially the small, square tiled shower surrounds. The heating system is basic baseboard heating, and there is no central air conditioning. While functional and maintained, the major components like the kitchen and bathrooms are clearly outdated in style and would require substantial renovation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Commuter Access: The property boasts excellent accessibility, being close to Highway 680 and the VTA light rail, ideal for commuters.
Recent Interior Updates: Features new flooring throughout, including new laminate, providing a fresh and easy-to-maintain living environment.
Equipped Kitchen & In-Unit Laundry: The kitchen is fully equipped with essential appliances (electric cooktop, dishwasher, hood, oven, refrigerator), and a washer and dryer are included in the unit for convenience.
Functional Layout: Offers a practical layout with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms within 832 sq ft, including a spacious family room and dining area.
Desirable School District: Located within the Berryessa Union Elementary School District, which is a significant draw for families.

Cons

Limited Cooling System: The description only mentions 'wiring to install a ceiling fan for cooling,' indicating a lack of central air conditioning, which could be a discomfort during warmer periods.
High Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $590.0 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of homeownership.
Aging Infrastructure & Heating System: Built in 1981, the property is over 40 years old, and the presence of 'baseboard heating' suggests an older, potentially less efficient heating system compared to modern alternatives.
