Condition Rating
Good
This property, built in 1997, has undergone a significant and recent remodel as stated in the description and evidenced by the images. The kitchen features modern gray shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a contemporary sink/faucet. While the white refrigerator, gas range, and microwave are clean and functional, they are not the most current aesthetic trend (e.g., stainless steel) and don't match the black dishwasher, which slightly detracts from an 'excellent' rating. The bathrooms are well-updated with matching gray vanities, quartz countertops, modern fixtures (including black shower hardware), and stylish large-format gray tiling. Modern laminate flooring extends throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and the walls are freshly painted. Light fixtures are a mix of recessed, modern pendants, and a basic fluorescent in the kitchen. Overall, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, reflecting a comprehensive update within the last 5-15 years, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Walkability: Situated in a highly desirable North Valley neighborhood with immediate walking access to major retailers (Costco, 99 Ranch, H Mart, Sprouts), parks, dining, and recreation.
Commuter's Dream: Proximity to major tech employers, Berryessa BART station, and key freeways (680, 880, 101) offers unparalleled convenience for commuters.
Modern & Move-in Ready Interior: Recently remodeled with contemporary finishes including quartz countertops and modern laminate flooring, ensuring a bright, updated, and turn-key living experience.
Penthouse Advantages & Versatility: As a top-floor unit, it benefits from soaring ceilings, a large private balcony, and a versatile layout featuring a den/loft area that can serve as a third bedroom or study, plus ample storage.
Secure & Ample Parking: Includes two assigned parking spaces in a secure underground garage, a significant amenity in a dense urban environment.
Cons
Extended Market Time & Price Adjustments: The property has been on the market for 198 days with multiple price reductions, suggesting challenges in attracting buyers at previous price points.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: A monthly association fee of $480 adds a substantial recurring cost to homeownership, which may deter some potential buyers.
Non-Standard Third Bedroom Configuration: While advertised as 3 bedrooms, the county record indicates 2 beds plus a den/loft, which may not meet all buyers' expectations for a traditional third bedroom.
