Condition Rating
Good
This property, built in 1972, has undergone significant updates that make it move-in ready. The description highlights 'New LVP flooring' and an 'Updated kitchen w/ granite counters, modern cabinets & dishwasher,' which are clearly visible in the images and present a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The bathroom, while not ultra-modern in style (tiled vanity top), is well-maintained and functional with a shower over a soaking tub. The property benefits from recent renovations, likely within the last 5-15 years for the kitchen and flooring, aligning with the 'Good' criteria. While the wall AC unit and baseboard heating are not central HVAC, they are functional systems. Overall, the property shows minimal wear and tear and no immediate renovation is required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Silicon Valley Location: Situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, offering excellent access to Santa Clara Town Center, shopping, dining, transit, freeways, and highly-rated schools.
Exceptional Views & Top-Floor Unit: As a bright, airy top-floor end-unit with expansive windows, it provides stunning Silicon Valley, city lights, and mountain views, enhanced by elevator access.
Modernized Interior & Move-in Ready: Features an updated kitchen with granite counters and modern cabinets, new LVP flooring, and is presented as move-in ready, minimizing immediate renovation needs.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a secure building with assigned storage, gated parking, and a wide array of community facilities including a clubhouse, pool, gym, sauna, and shared laundry.
Compelling Value & Price Reduction: The property has seen a significant price reduction and is currently listed below its estimated value, offering an attractive entry point into the competitive Santa Clara market.
Cons
Aging Building & Suboptimal HVAC: Constructed in 1972, the building's age may suggest potential for older infrastructure. The unit's heating and cooling are provided by a less efficient wall AC/heating unit and baseboard heating, rather than a central system.
Compact Floor Plan: With 632 square feet, the unit offers a relatively small living space, which might be a limiting factor for individuals or couples seeking more expansive accommodations.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $493 per month is substantial for a unit of this size, potentially impacting the overall affordability and long-term cost of ownership.
