Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1969, this condo is functional and move-in ready, but key areas like the kitchen and bathroom show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances but retains very dated white tile countertops and older cabinets. The bathroom appears largely original or very old, with a dated vanity, countertop, light fixture, and shower enclosure. While the laminate/wood flooring is an updated feature, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathrooms to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Tech Hub Proximity: Strategically located in Santa Clara, offering unparalleled access to major tech companies like Apple, NVIDIA, Google, and Meta, making it highly desirable for tech professionals.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from resort-style amenities including two pools, a spa, gym, clubhouse, and guest suite, enhancing lifestyle and property appeal.
Bright & Spacious Interior: The condo features a light-filled, breezy open layout with wood floors and large windows, creating an inviting and comfortable living space.
Convenient Local Access: Proximity to essential services and popular establishments like Whole Foods, Starbucks, Peet’s, and Tesla Superchargers, along with easy access to major highways (280, San Tomas, Lawrence Expwy), ensures daily convenience.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as 'move-in ready,' indicating the property is in good, habitable condition, allowing for immediate occupancy with potential for personalized updates.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $626 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability.
Age of Building: Built in 1969, the property is over 50 years old. While maintained, older buildings can sometimes imply potential for aging infrastructure or systems that may require future maintenance or upgrades.
Potential for Dated Interior/Systems: The description mentions 'space to personalize,' which, combined with the 1969 build year, suggests that while functional, some aspects of the interior or core systems (e.g., HVAC, appliances, finishes) might not be fully modernized to current buyer expectations, potentially requiring additional investment.
