Fair
The property, built in 1964, is well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring modern stainless steel kitchen appliances and updated wood-look flooring in the living areas. However, the kitchen's black granite countertops and tile backsplash, along with the bathroom's tile work and strip lighting, suggest an older renovation, likely 15-20+ years ago. While functional and clean, these elements show signs of being outdated and would likely require minor to moderate updates for a more contemporary aesthetic.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Accessibility: The property boasts a prime location, less than 10 minutes from Willow Glen and Campbell downtowns, walking distance to essential retail like Safeway and Starbucks, and minutes from upscale amenities such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, The Pruneyard, and Santana Row.
Comprehensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from resort-style amenities including a sparkling pool, cabana, BBQ area, fitness center, and a game room, all covered by the HOA, enhancing lifestyle and property appeal.
Desirable Unit Features & Practical Perks: The unit offers central A/C, convenient in-unit laundry, a private patio overlooking serene gardens, a separate storage room, and two dedicated parking spaces (one assigned covered garage, one permit).
Gated Community Security: Located within the desirable gated Dry Creek community, providing enhanced security and a sense of exclusivity for residents.
Top-Floor Advantage: As a top-floor unit, it typically offers increased privacy, reduced noise from above, and potentially better natural light and views.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $687.00 per month is substantial and significantly adds to the overall cost of ownership, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Building Age: Constructed in 1964, the building is 60 years old, which may lead to concerns about potential future maintenance, infrastructure updates, or less modern design compared to newer constructions.
Condominium Restrictions: As a condominium, ownership entails adherence to HOA rules and regulations, shared common areas, and potential limitations on personal modifications, which might not appeal to all buyers seeking greater independence.
