Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Baywood neighborhood, offering convenient access to downtown San Mateo amenities and a sought-after lifestyle.
Distinctive Architectural Charm: Housed within an elegant Spanish revival style building featuring a large courtyard and welcoming fountain, providing unique aesthetic appeal and character.
Spacious & Tastefully Updated Interior: Boasts approximately 1,600 sqft with high ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring, a grand living room with a fireplace, and a recently updated kitchen equipped with modern appliances.
Year-Round Comfort & Convenience: Equipped with central air conditioning and heating for optimal climate control, along with an included in-unit washer/dryer, ensuring comfortable and practical living.
Valuable Practical Amenities: Includes a dedicated garage parking space and a separate basement storage unit, adding significant value, security, and utility for residents.

Cons

Substantial Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $840 is notably high, which will significantly impact the total cost of homeownership and ongoing expenses.
Historic Building Considerations: While charming, the 1920 construction year of the building may present potential for higher long-term maintenance costs or unforeseen infrastructure challenges inherent to older properties.
Absence of Private Outdoor Space: As a first-floor condominium, the property lacks a private balcony or patio, which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing personal outdoor living areas beyond the shared courtyard.
