The property, built in 1977, is well-maintained and move-in ready, with recently painted living room walls. However, the kitchen features dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, and black appliances, while the bathroom has an older vanity and a dated light fixture. The carpeted living areas also suggest an older aesthetic. While functional, these areas show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to meet current styles.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Walkability: Exceptional access to shopping, dining, parks (Coyote Point), top-rated colleges, and public transit (Caltrain), with Downtown San Mateo and Burlingame just a 15-minute walk away.
Ideal First-Time Homebuyer Opportunity: Positioned as an accessible entry point into the desirable San Mateo real estate market, perfect for individuals or couples.
Enhanced Privacy & Quiet Living: Situated on the quiet second floor with no neighbors above or below and only one shared wall, ensuring a peaceful and private living environment.
Desirable In-Unit Amenities: Includes convenient features such as a covered parking space, a spacious storage room directly in front of parking, and an in-unit washer and dryer.
Abundant Natural Light & Fresh Interior: Six large windows flood the space with natural light, complemented by recently painted living room walls, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.

Cons

Compact Size & Limited Bedrooms: The 1-bed, 1-bath, 710 sqft layout may limit appeal to single occupants or couples, excluding families or those requiring more living space.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The $513 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly increasing the overall monthly housing cost.
Building Age: Built in 1977, the property is over 45 years old, which could imply older building systems or potential for future capital assessments for common area maintenance and upgrades.
