Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1983, this property has undergone significant and stylish renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features updated white beadboard cabinets, dark countertops, modern stainless steel appliances, and contemporary LVP flooring. Both bathrooms showcase updated vanities, modern sinks (including a vessel sink), updated light fixtures, and attractive tiling (mosaic in one, stone-look in the other). The consistent LVP flooring and recessed lighting throughout the main living areas further enhance its modern appeal. While the building itself is older, the extensive interior updates appear to have been completed within the last 5-15 years, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Downtown Location: The property boasts a superb downtown Walnut Creek location, placing residents within 0.5 miles of movies, diverse restaurants, and shopping, offering an active urban lifestyle.
Excellent Transportation Access: Convenient access to public transportation is a major plus, with a free trolley service available that connects directly to BART, enhancing commute options and regional accessibility.
Spacious & Flexible Layout: At 1154 sqft, this is a large 1-bedroom unit featuring two full bathrooms and the flexibility for the owner to use it as a two-bedroom, catering to various living arrangements.
Private Outdoor Space & Privacy: The unit includes a private balcony, offering personal outdoor space, and is positioned to provide privacy from the communal pool area.
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Located within a strong school district, with highly-rated schools nearby, including Las Lomas High School (rated 9) within 0.63 miles, appealing to families.
Cons
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $710 is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Limited Official Bedrooms: Despite its flexible layout and potential for a second bedroom, the property is officially listed as a 1-bedroom unit, which may limit its appeal to buyers specifically seeking multiple dedicated bedrooms.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a recent price reduction from $629,000 to $599,000, which could suggest initial overpricing or a longer time on the market, potentially raising buyer questions.
