Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1984, this property shows a mix of updates and original features. While it benefits from recent laminate flooring, stainless steel Kenmore kitchen appliances (fridge and range), and a new master's bath shower door, the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities are clearly dated, likely original to the build year. The kitchen also features an outdated fluorescent light fixture. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the outdated styles in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms indicate it would require minor cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Positioned as 'one of the best locations in the complex,' offering privacy, lush greenery views, and excellent proximity to essential amenities (grocery, post office, restaurants, Costco, Eastridge) and easy freeway access (101).
Modern Interior Finishes & Features: Boasts laminate flooring throughout, a living room with a vaulted ceiling, an electric fireplace, a private balcony, and a generous master bedroom with a walk-in closet.
Updated Appliances & HVAC: Equipped with stainless steel Kenmore kitchen appliances, central heating and A/C in the living area, and convenient in-unit laundry.
Strong School District Ratings: Located within close proximity to highly-rated schools, including Stonegate Elementary (5-star) and Yerba Buena High School (5-star).
Dedicated Parking: Includes both a covered parking space and an additional permit parking space, a valuable asset in a condominium complex.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 912 sqft, the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout may be considered small for some buyers, potentially limiting appeal for those seeking more expansive living areas.
Monthly Association Fees: The $374.0 monthly association fee adds a recurring cost to homeownership, which could be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from its original listing, which might suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges attracting offers at its previous price point.
