Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1965, is well-maintained and move-in ready, with a recently updated bathroom shower featuring modern tiling and glass enclosure. However, the kitchen, a major component, appears dated with older style cabinets and standard appliances, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago or original features. The parquet wood floors throughout, while in good condition, also contribute to an outdated aesthetic. While functional, the kitchen and flooring show signs of being outdated, and a buyer would likely consider minor updates to these areas for a more contemporary feel.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location: Prime Adams Point location offering unparalleled walkability to Lake Merritt, major grocery stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's), farmers market, diverse dining, and excellent public transit access (BART).
Abundant Natural Light & City Views: As an end unit, the property benefits from significant natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, complemented by multiple balconies and desirable downtown city views.
Robust Building Amenities: The building provides a comprehensive suite of amenities including secure gated parking (assigned), keyed elevators, outdoor terraces, storage, bike parking, app-based laundry, and modern EV charging.
Pet-Friendly Policy: The building's pet-friendly policy significantly broadens its appeal to a large segment of the buyer market.
Indoor-Outdoor Living: Multiple private balconies facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor living, a highly sought-after feature in urban condominiums.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $800 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a deterrent for some buyers, impacting overall affordability and long-term costs.
Shared Laundry Facilities: The mention of 'app-based laundry' indicates shared facilities rather than convenient in-unit laundry, which is often preferred in modern condominiums.
Building Age: Constructed in 1965, the building's age, despite being updated for compliance, might imply potential for future special assessments, older infrastructure, or less modern layouts compared to newer constructions.
