Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1984, this condo is 40 years old. While it features updated laminate flooring, fresh paint, stainless steel Kenmore appliances, and updated bathroom vanities/shower door, the kitchen retains its original, dated wood cabinets and a fluorescent ceiling light. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the outdated kitchen elements prevent it from being classified as 'Good' and indicate it would benefit from minor updates to achieve a more contemporary aesthetic.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: The condo boasts an excellent location within the complex, offering privacy and convenient access to major freeways (101) and essential amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, Costco, and Eastridge.
Desirable Interior Features: Highlights include a living room with a vaulted ceiling, an electric fireplace, laminate flooring throughout, and a private balcony overlooking lush greenery.

Functional Layout & Master Suite: A private, second-level unit with a well-designed 2-bed/2-bath layout, including a generous master bedroom featuring a walk-in closet.
Ample Parking: The property includes both a covered parking space and an additional permit parking, a significant advantage in a condominium complex.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 912 sqft, the unit offers a relatively compact living area for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, which may not suit buyers seeking more expansive space.
Monthly HOA Dues: The $374 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Building Age: Built in 1984, the property is nearing 40 years old. While some updates are noted, potential buyers may anticipate the need for future maintenance or upgrades to original building components.
