Condition Rating
Fair
While the property benefits from recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, new carpet, and new LVP flooring in the kitchen, the core elements of the kitchen are significantly dated. It features older white appliances (including a coil-top electric stove), older cabinet styles, laminate countertops, and a very dated fluorescent box light fixture. Popcorn ceilings are also present throughout the unit. The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, but the kitchen and overall aesthetic would require minor to moderate updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Active 55+ Community: The property is part of a well-maintained 55+ community offering a vibrant, active lifestyle with extensive amenities and social activities like movie nights, book clubs, and exercise facilities.
Recently Remodeled Interior: The end-unit has been beautifully remodeled with fresh paint, new carpet, and custom blinds throughout, providing a modern and move-in ready living space.
Enhanced Privacy and Quiet: As an end-unit, it offers great privacy with windows facing a peaceful patio, effectively shielding it from street noise.
Prime Berkeley Location: Ideally located in Berkeley, providing convenient access to public transportation, shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Significant Price Reduction: The list price has been reduced from $575,000 to $545,000, indicating potential value and seller motivation for prospective buyers.
Cons
Age-Restricted Community: Being a 55+ community significantly limits the potential buyer pool, which can impact market demand and future resale opportunities.
High Monthly Association Fee: The substantial monthly association fee of $778.0 adds a considerable ongoing cost to ownership, which may be a deterrent for some buyers.
Compact Unit Size: With 700 sqft for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout, the unit is relatively small, potentially limiting appeal for those seeking more spacious living arrangements.
