Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1965, this property shows significant age and a lack of major renovations for several decades. The kitchen features very dated dark wood cabinets, worn yellow laminate countertops, an old coil-top electric range, and an older white refrigerator. The flooring throughout the kitchen and bathroom is old vinyl. The bathroom vanity area is equally outdated with old cabinets, laminate counters, and basic lighting. While functional, these areas require substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current standards, making the property uncomfortable and aesthetically unappealing in its current state. The overall condition necessitates a major investment in renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Location: The property boasts an excellent coastal location in Ventura, offering easy walkability to shopping, dining, entertainment, and the beach.
Community Amenities: Residents benefit from access to desirable community amenities such as a pool and clubhouse, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Spacious Primary Suite: The unit features a generously sized Primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet and a convenient vanity area, providing comfort and ample storage.
Private Outdoor Deck: A large, part-covered deck extends from the main living area, offering a private outdoor space suitable for enjoyment in various weather conditions.
Dedicated Parking: The inclusion of a personal garage, along with additional parking availability, is a significant convenience and value-add for a condominium.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1965, the property is over 50 years old, which may lead to concerns about the condition of original systems and potential for future maintenance or renovation needs.
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $565.00 is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly increasing the overall cost of ownership.
No Scenic View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which is a notable drawback for a coastal property where scenic views are often highly desired and can command a premium.
