Exceptional Views & Outdoor Living: Features breathtaking 180-degree valley, mountain, and city views from wrap-around floor-to-ceiling glass, complemented by a spacious 400+ sqft wraparound terrace ideal for indoor/outdoor living.
Extensive Recent Capital Improvements: The HOA has completed significant upgrades including structural compliance (SB326, EQ retrofit), new roof, railings, walkways, and in-unit HVAC with Nest control, ensuring modern comfort and safety.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The $828.0 monthly HOA fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, which could be a significant financial consideration for potential buyers and impact affordability.
Limited Bedroom Count: As a single-bedroom residence, the property's appeal is restricted to individuals or couples, potentially limiting the buyer pool compared to multi-bedroom units.
Niche Design Appeal: While architecturally significant, the distinct mid-century design and eclectic interior updates may not universally appeal to all buyers, potentially narrowing market interest.
