Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2005, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features luxury stainless steel appliances (Viking range, integrated refrigerator), natural stone countertops, and a farmhouse sink, all in excellent condition. Bathrooms are also well-appointed with quality finishes. Hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and central HVAC contribute to its high quality. While the cabinet style in the kitchen and some light fixtures reflect its 2005 construction, they are high-end and well-preserved, preventing it from being 'Excellent' due to not being extensively renovated within the last 5 years to meet the newest trends.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Downtown Location: Unbeatable access to acclaimed dining, shopping, Central Park, Caltrain, and major highways (92, 101, 280) in the vibrant heart of Downtown San Mateo/Baywood.
Modern & Luxurious Interior: Built in 2005, this elegant, newer-construction condo features an open floor plan, striking wood beam ceilings, and a chef's kitchen with luxury appliances and sleek finishes.
Thoughtful Layout & Dedicated Spaces: A top-floor unit with a well-designed open concept, including a dedicated office and a practical laundry room with storage, enhancing functionality for modern living.
Exceptional Amenities & Outdoor Living: Comfort is ensured with central heat & AC, three private patios offering treetop views, two-car secure garage parking, a large private storage room, and an elevatored building with guest parking.
Desirable Top-Floor Position: Being a top-floor unit provides enhanced privacy, potentially better natural light, and reduced noise from above, contributing to a more serene urban retreat.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $1177 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
Recent Price Reductions: The property has undergone two price reductions from its original listing price of $2.1M to $1.89M, which could signal market resistance or initial overpricing.
Limited School District Information: The high school district is vaguely listed as 'Other,' which lacks specific detail and might be a concern for buyers prioritizing school quality in their decision-making process.
