Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1977, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, benefiting from updates such as dual-pane windows and central A/C. However, the kitchen features dated cabinets, countertops, and a mix of older appliances (e.g., black range/microwave), while the bathrooms show older vanities, lighting fixtures, and tile work. The overall aesthetic of these key areas reflects an older renovation or original features, requiring substantial cosmetic updates to align with contemporary styles and maximize value. The property is functional but clearly outdated in its finishes.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent location, being a short walk to Los Gatos Creek Trail and minutes away from shopping, Downtown Willow Glen, The Pruneyard, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods, offering convenience and a desirable lifestyle.
Desirable School District: Located within the highly regarded Campbell Schools district, which is a significant draw for families and contributes to property value.
Unique Condo Features: This rare, spacious single-story end unit condo offers a large private backyard, a 2-car detached garage, dual-pane windows, and central A/C, providing amenities typically found in single-family homes.
Community Amenities: The Arbor Glen neighborhood provides a fantastic community environment with mature trees, beautiful landscaping, and access to a secure pool and spa, enhancing resident quality of life.
Low HOA Dues: The community benefits from low HOA dues, offering cost-effective access to shared amenities and common area maintenance compared to many other condominium developments.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1977, the property is nearly 50 years old, which may suggest that some original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Condominium Living Constraints: Despite its house-like features, as a condominium, the property is subject to HOA rules and regulations, which can limit owner autonomy regarding exterior modifications or certain lifestyle choices.
Potential for Interior Updates: While well-maintained, the interior aesthetics (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, flooring) may reflect its 1977 build year, potentially requiring updates to align with contemporary design preferences and maximize value.
