Condition Rating
Good
This unit is move-in ready due to significant recent cosmetic updates. The bathrooms have been fully and recently renovated with modern fixtures, vanities, and tile. The property also benefits from fresh interior paint, new carpeting, and new flooring in the kitchen. While the kitchen features refinished cabinets and new flooring, the dated tile countertops and older appliances prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' score. The popcorn ceiling is also an older feature. However, the overall condition is well-maintained and functional, requiring no immediate renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in the highly sought-after Adams Point neighborhood, the unit offers exceptional walkability to Lake Merritt, Grand Avenue's vibrant shops, diverse dining, entertainment options, and the local Farmers Market.
Extensive Recent Renovations: The unit boasts significant recent upgrades, including a modernized kitchen with refinished cabinets, new flooring, and updated fixtures, as well as newly renovated bathrooms with new enclosures, vanities, and flooring. Fresh interior paint and new carpeting further enhance its move-in ready appeal.
Top-Floor Unit with Balcony: As a top-floor unit, it likely benefits from increased natural light and reduced noise from above. The spacious living room opens to a private covered balcony, providing a dedicated outdoor space for relaxation.
Excellent Transportation Access: The property offers convenient access to both public transit and major freeways, making commuting and regional travel straightforward for residents.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: The location provides access to several highly-rated public schools, including Piedmont High (Rating 10), Crocker Highlands Elementary (Rating 9), Piedmont Middle (Rating 9), and Lincoln Elementary (Rating 8), which can be a significant draw for families.
Cons
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $845.00 is considerably high, adding a substantial recurring cost to homeownership and potentially impacting affordability.
Building Age: Constructed in 1963, the building is over 60 years old. While the unit itself has been renovated, the age of the overall building may lead to higher common area maintenance costs or potential special assessments in the future.
No Mention of Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a notable drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially for a top-floor unit.
