Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1976, this townhome shows evidence of significant recent updates, particularly in the bathroom which features a modern vanity, light fixture, and updated tiling. The kitchen has newer stainless steel appliances and a subway tile backsplash, though the wood cabinets appear to be an older style. The main living areas boast hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a contemporary staircase railing, contributing to a move-in ready feel. While not a full, recent renovation, the property is well-maintained with key areas updated, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Northgate High School (9/10).
Exceptional Location & Amenities: The property boasts an excellent commuting location, being only 0.7 miles from the BART station, and is steps away from Heather Farm Park and Bancroft shopping center, offering unparalleled convenience for daily living and recreation.
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Served by highly-rated Northgate High School (9/10), Foothill Middle School (8/10), and Bancroft Elementary School (7/10), making it a strong draw for families seeking quality education.
Desirable End-Unit Townhome: As a rarely available end-unit in the Rancho Dorado community, it offers enhanced privacy, more natural light, and a less confined feel compared to interior units.
Spacious Master Suite: Features a huge master suite, providing a luxurious and private retreat within the home, which is a significant selling point for comfort and relaxation.
Recent Price Adjustment: The recent price reduction from $899,000 to $839,999 positions the property more competitively, potentially attracting a wider range of buyers and indicating motivated sellers.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $516.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds a considerable recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1976, the property's age may suggest that some systems or aesthetic elements could require updates or renovations to meet modern standards and preferences.
Extended Days on Market: With 80 days on the market and a recent price reduction, it suggests the property may have faced challenges in attracting offers at its initial price point, potentially indicating a slower sales cycle.
