Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent & Extensive Remodel: The property boasts a fresh, comprehensive remodel including new kitchen cabinets, elegant quartzite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and recessed lighting throughout, offering a modern, move-in ready interior.
Convenient Santa Cruz Location: Strategically located near Highway 1, between Soquel Ave and 41st, providing excellent access to Santa Cruz amenities, transportation, and local attractions.
Desirable Primary Suite Amenities: The primary bedroom features a private sliding door to a deck, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, enhancing comfort and luxury.
Attached Garage with In-Unit Laundry: Includes a convenient attached one-car garage equipped with a washer and dryer, adding significant practical value and ease of living.
Well-Maintained Community Environment: Situated within a beautifully landscaped neighborhood, contributing to attractive curb appeal and a pleasant living atmosphere.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $548 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost that could impact affordability and buyer interest.
Prolonged Market Time & Price Reduction: With 118 days on market and a notable price reduction from $875,000 to $775,000, the property has faced challenges in attracting a buyer at its initial price point.
Compact Living Space & Outdoor Area: At 1241 sqft with a small 1045 sqft lot, the townhome offers relatively compact living spaces and minimal private outdoor area, which may not suit buyers seeking more room or a larger yard.
