Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1995, this condo has been well-maintained and features significant updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen boasts newer stainless steel appliances, granite slab counters, and undercabinet lighting, while the bathrooms are described as 'spa-like' with marble finishes, jetted tubs, and Toto toilets, indicating high-quality renovations. The overall aesthetic is clean and modern with contemporary light fixtures and large format tile flooring throughout. While the building's age places it outside the 'Excellent' new construction/recent full renovation window, the extensive updates and pristine condition of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Walkability & Location: Boasts a 92 Walkscore ('Walker's Paradise') with easy access to downtown San Mateo, Burlingame, Caltrain, and a plethora of urban amenities including shopping, dining, and parks.
Luxurious & Updated Interiors: Features a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and newer stainless steel appliances, a spa-like master bath with jetted tub and marble finishes, a dramatic 3-sided gas fireplace, and modern conveniences like in-unit laundry.
Resort-Style Building Amenities: Offers a Mediterranean-style building with a gym, sauna, clubhouse, elegant fountain and stone courtyard, pet-friendly policy, elevator access, and dedicated bicycle storage.
Rare & Spacious Floorplan with Private Patio: A seldom-available 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom one-level layout complemented by a large private outdoor patio spanning the unit's width, facing peaceful garden views.
Premium Parking & Storage: Includes two excellent assigned parking spaces (one EV-ready, both steps to the elevator) plus visitor parking, along with separate storage cabinets.

Cons

Substantial Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $1,002 is considerably high, impacting overall affordability and ongoing ownership costs.
Lower-Rated Elementary School: The assigned elementary school (San Mateo Park Elementary) has a rating of 4, which may be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier primary education.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $1.299M to $1.264M could indicate initial overpricing or a need to stimulate buyer interest in the current market.
