Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1996, is 28 years old. While it appears well-maintained and includes a new refrigerator and washer/dryer, the kitchen and bathrooms largely retain their original 1990s aesthetic. The kitchen features dated white tiled countertops and traditional light wood cabinets, though the flooring appears to be a more recent laminate. Bathrooms also have dated tiled countertops, matching wood vanities, and older light fixtures. The overall condition is clean and functional, but the outdated styles in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms suggest it would require minor cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: The property boasts an excellent location, just minutes from Rockridge, Elmwood, and Montclair shopping districts, UC Berkeley, and BART, offering convenient access to amenities and transportation.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a gated community with a wide array of amenities including a pool, spa, sauna, fitness center, and clubhouse, enhancing lifestyle and value.
Dedicated & Guest Parking: The unit includes two dedicated interior parking spaces in the garage, complemented by ample guest parking, a significant convenience in urban areas.

Cons
High Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $928.00 per month is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability.
Potential for Original Systems/Finishes: Built in 1996, while some appliances are new, other major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and finishes may be original, potentially requiring future updates or maintenance.
Absence of Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a drawback for comfort during warmer months.
