Condition Rating
Good

This 1964-built property is move-in ready and has undergone significant renovations. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated white cabinetry, and dark countertops/backsplash that are clean and functional. Bathrooms are well-maintained with updated fixtures, though some elements like the tiled vanity tops suggest renovations were likely completed within the last 5-15 years rather than being brand new. Flooring, paint, and light fixtures throughout are updated and in good condition, requiring no immediate repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Walkability: Ideally situated less than 10 minutes from Willow Glen and Campbell downtowns, with walking distance to Safeway, Starbucks, and various restaurants, offering exceptional convenience and access to amenities.
Extensive Resort-Style HOA Amenities: The community boasts a sparkling pool, cabana, BBQ area, fitness center, and a game room, providing a comprehensive suite of recreational facilities for residents.
Desirable In-Unit Features & Comfort: The unit includes central A/C, in-unit laundry, and a private patio overlooking serene gardens, enhancing daily living comfort and convenience.
Ample Parking & Storage: Practical perks include two parking spaces (an assigned covered garage space plus an additional permit spot) and a separate storage room, addressing common urban living challenges.
Gated Top-Floor Unit Benefits: Being a bright, inviting top-floor unit within a desirable gated community offers enhanced privacy, reduced noise, and improved security.

Cons

Age of Building: Built in 1964, the property is 60 years old, which may imply older infrastructure, potential for deferred maintenance, or less modern design elements compared to newer constructions.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $687.00 per month is substantial, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership that could impact affordability and long-term financial planning for buyers.
Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, buyers are subject to HOA rules and regulations, shared walls, and less control over exterior property aspects, which may not appeal to those seeking greater autonomy or a single-family home experience.
