Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1974, this unit is functional and appears well-maintained, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and a subway tile backsplash, the white flat-panel cabinets and dark countertops are clearly from an older era. Both bathrooms exhibit very dated vanities with integrated sinks and old strip light fixtures. The main living areas benefit from updated hardwood-style flooring and recessed lighting, but the overall aesthetic of the wet areas requires substantial modernization. The 'as-is' sale condition further suggests that a buyer should anticipate renovation costs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: The property boasts a wonderful location within walking distance to Broadway, offering easy access to shops and restaurants, and is in close proximity to Bixby Park, known for concerts, farmers markets, and festivals.
Abundant Natural Light: The unit is naturally bright and airy, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize sunlight and large mirrors designed to enhance the sense of open space.
Included Appliances: All appliances are included in the sale, providing immediate convenience and reducing initial moving costs for the buyer.
Desirable View: The unit offers a 'Peek-A-Boo' view, adding an appealing aesthetic and potential value, especially given its proximity to the ocean.
Good School Ratings: The property is located within districts served by several schools with solid ratings (e.g., Stevenson Elementary 7, Franklin Middle 6, Polytechnic High 6), which can be attractive to families.
Cons
As-Is Condition: The property is being sold in 'as-is' condition, which may imply that the seller will not make repairs and could require the buyer to invest in immediate maintenance or upgrades.
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $544.97 per month is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability.
Building Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1974, the building's age, coupled with the 'as-is' sale, suggests that the unit or building systems may require updates or renovations to meet modern standards or preferences.
