Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1997, this property has been recently updated with new interior paint and modern flooring throughout the main living areas, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and black granite countertops, though the light wood cabinets are a more traditional style. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, they show some signs of age with older style vanities, light fixtures, and tile choices, indicating they have not undergone a full recent renovation. However, the overall condition is well-maintained with no immediate repairs required, aligning with a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Waterfront Location & Views: The property boasts a prime lagoon-front location with stunning Bay and water views, especially from the primary suite, and is steps away from the SF Bay shoreline.
Direct Water Recreation Access: Offers unique direct access for water activities like paddleboarding, canoeing, or kayaking from the backyard, with the potential to build a private dock.
Commuter-Friendly Location: Exceptional accessibility for commuters, with a quick walk to the SF Ferry Terminal and easy access to BART, freeways, and tech shuttle stops.
Move-in Ready & Updated Interior: A contemporary home featuring new interior paint, modern flooring, high 16-foot ceilings, an open floor plan, and a built-in office, making it ready for immediate occupancy.
Comprehensive HOA Amenities: The HOA provides valuable amenities including a kid's playground, community park on the lagoon, exterior front maintenance, and security patrol, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.

Cons

Pricing Above Estimated Value: The current list price is 7% above the property's estimated market value, which may suggest an aggressive pricing strategy or require strong justification for the premium.
Recurring HOA Dues: A monthly association fee of $175 adds a recurring cost to homeownership, which buyers will need to factor into their budget.
Modest Lot Size: The 4,166 sq ft lot size is relatively modest for a single-family home, potentially limiting extensive private outdoor space beyond the existing patios.
