Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The unit offers stunning views of Lake Merritt, San Francisco, and beyond from its second-to-top floor position, providing a desirable backdrop for living and entertaining.
Modern & Remodeled Interior: Features a sleek, remodeled kitchen with premium appliances, hardwood floors, updated backsplash, and an open floor plan, along with larger bedrooms and an updated primary ensuite bath.
Architectural Significance & Solid Construction: Designed by Michael Marx, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, and built of steel and concrete in 1968, offering unique architectural appeal and robust construction.

Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original list price, indicating potential value and a more attractive entry point for buyers.

Cons

High Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $1500 is considerably high, adding a significant ongoing cost to homeownership.
Building Age & Potential for Future Costs: Built in 1968, while architecturally notable, the building's age may imply potential for deferred maintenance or future special assessments for system upgrades not covered by the high HOA fee.
Mixed School Ratings: While one elementary school has a high rating, several other nearby public schools, including high and middle schools, have low ratings, which could be a concern for families.
