Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1973, is over 50 years old. While it features updated laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen and bathroom are significantly outdated. The kitchen has very old white appliances (including a coil-top stove), dated white cabinets, and laminate countertops, suggesting these areas have not been renovated in 30-50 years. The bathroom, though clean, also shows signs of age with its tile style and fixtures. The presence of popcorn ceilings further indicates a lack of comprehensive modern renovation. The unit is functional and well-maintained for its age, but requires substantial cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathroom to meet current standards and appeal.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Resort-Style Amenities: The Watergate community offers an extensive array of resort-like amenities including four pools, tennis courts, walking trails, a hot tub, gym, clubhouse, and 24/7 security, providing a luxurious and active lifestyle.
Waterfront Location & Views: Situated in Emeryville's exclusive Watergate, the property boasts a prime waterfront location with desirable Bay and Bridge views, enhancing its appeal and tranquility.
Exceptional Commuter Access: The location provides excellent connectivity for commuters, with easy access to the Bay Bridge, a free Emeryville shuttle, and BART, making San Francisco and other Bay Area destinations highly accessible.
Functional Interior Layout: The condo features a 'fantastic floor plan' and a walk-in closet, indicating a well-designed and practical living space for its size.
Lifestyle-Oriented Community: The property is marketed as a 'lifestyle upgrade' offering 'luxury living' and 'waterfront tranquility,' appealing to buyers seeking a vibrant and convenient community experience.
Cons
High Association Fee: The association fee of $658.0 per month is substantial for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit, which could impact affordability and long-term ownership costs for potential buyers.
Building Age: Built in 1973, the building is over 50 years old. While amenities are highlighted, the age could imply potential for future maintenance issues, special assessments, or dated common areas not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Compact Square Footage: With 636 square feet, the unit is relatively small for a 1-bedroom condo, which might limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious living arrangements or those planning for long-term residency.
