Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1985, has received recent cosmetic updates including new paint, new flooring, and new track lighting, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated cabinets and laminate countertops, and a mix of appliance ages (newer range, older dishwasher). The bathrooms, while clean, also exhibit older styles in tiling and fixtures. These key areas show signs of being outdated, suggesting their last significant renovation was more than 15 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in the desirable Adams Point neighborhood, offering easy walking access to Whole Foods, Lakeside Park, and Lake Merritt, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Excellent Commuter Access: Proximity to BART makes commuting a breeze, a significant advantage for residents working in or around Oakland and the wider Bay Area.
Abundant Natural Light & Outdoor Space: As a corner unit, the property benefits from an abundance of natural light through large picture windows and features two private balconies, providing valuable outdoor living space.
Comprehensive Building Amenities: The building offers desirable amenities including laundry on every floor, designated parking, secure entry, storage, and an elevator, contributing to a comfortable and convenient living experience.
Recent Interior Updates: The unit has been recently refreshed with new paint, new flooring, and new track lighting, presenting a move-in ready condition for potential buyers.
Cons
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $787.0 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability.
Building Age: Built in 1985, the building is approaching 40 years old, which may imply potential for future maintenance costs or special assessments for major system replacements (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical) not covered by the current HOA fee.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a considerable price reduction from its original list price of $598,000 to $499,000, which might suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges attracting buyers.
