Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1981, this property has undergone renovations, including granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, updated flooring, and functional appliances. While clean and move-in ready, the style of these updates, particularly the kitchen cabinets, granite, and bathroom fixtures, appears to be from 15-20 years ago, showing signs of being outdated rather than contemporary. It is well-maintained but would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current trends.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Gated Community with Amenities: The property is located within a secure gated community, offering desirable recreational facilities including a pool and spa, enhancing lifestyle and security.
Updated Kitchen & Open Living: Features a large open kitchen with granite countertops and an eating nook, complemented by an open floor plan and a cozy family room with a fireplace, providing modern and comfortable living spaces.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Offers exceptionally convenient access to major freeways (805, 905), diverse shopping options, well-rated schools, beaches, and entertainment venues like the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre and the new Gaylord Bayfront Resort.
Dedicated Parking & Storage: Provides the practical benefit of two assigned covered carport parking spaces along with ample storage, a significant advantage for condominium living.
Recent Price Adjustment: The recent price reduction from $585,000 to $549,900 indicates a motivated seller and presents a potential opportunity for a more attractive purchase.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1981, the property is over four decades old, which may suggest the need for updates to systems or aesthetics, or potential for deferred maintenance.
Monthly Association Fees: The recurring monthly association fee of $275 adds to the overall cost of homeownership and requires careful budget consideration.
Upstairs Unit & Lack of Specific View: As an upstairs unit, it may present accessibility challenges for some buyers, and the absence of a notable view ('None') could be a less appealing feature compared to properties with scenic outlooks.
