Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1981, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and recent renovation. The kitchen features modern white quartz countertops and what appears to be newer appliances (white refrigerator visible). The bathroom is fully updated with a contemporary white vanity, modern black fixtures, and a stylish mirror. New light wood-look flooring is installed throughout, and the walls are freshly painted white, giving the entire unit a virtually new and modern feel. All visible components meet current quality standards with no apparent deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Privacy: This rare carriage house-style condo offers the privacy of a detached home with no shared walls or neighbors above or below, a significant advantage over typical condos.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Enjoy easy freeway access for quick commuting and close proximity to downtown Martinez, offering local shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Recent Price Improvement: A recent price reduction from $365,000 to $355,000 indicates a more competitive offering and potential for a favorable purchase.
Desirable School Proximity: The property is located near highly-rated elementary (Morello Park, 8/10) and high schools (Alhambra Senior High, 7/10), appealing to families.
Quiet Community & Bright Interior: Tucked away in a quiet community, this unit is described as light-filled, contributing to a comfortable and serene living environment.
Cons
High Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $560 is substantial for an 817 sqft, 2-bedroom condo, adding a significant ongoing cost to homeownership.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom unit, this could be inconvenient for multiple occupants or when entertaining guests.
Compact Living Space: At 817 square feet, the unit offers relatively compact living space for a two-bedroom, which may feel restrictive for some buyers.
