Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1979, this condo has undergone significant and high-quality upgrades, particularly evident in the kitchen. The kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinetry, granite countertops, a stylish subway tile backsplash, and contemporary stainless steel appliances, suggesting an extensive renovation within the last 5-15 years. Other visible areas, including the living spaces and entryway, show modern recessed lighting, clean flooring (a mix of tile and carpet), and a well-maintained appearance. While the property is not newly built, its 'beautifully upgraded' interior with 'modern finishes' makes it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria. The absence of bathroom images prevents a complete assessment, but the overall impression is of a well-cared-for and updated home.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated a short stroll from the Santa Cruz Wharf, Boardwalk, beach, restaurants, and shopping, providing unparalleled access to amenities and a vibrant lifestyle.
Modernized Interior Design: Features a beautifully upgraded, open-concept layout with modern finishes, designed for contemporary comfort and style.
Spacious Condominium Living: At 1923 sqft with 2 beds and 2 baths, it provides a generous and comfortable living space, uncommon for a condominium.
EV Charging Amenity: Includes a wired outlet for an Electric Vehicle in assigned parking, a desirable and increasingly essential modern convenience.

Cons

Significant Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $709.0 is substantial and represents a considerable ongoing cost of ownership.
Price Adjustment History: Multiple price changes, including reductions, suggest potential market resistance or an initial overvaluation, which could impact buyer confidence.
Building Age: Constructed in 1979, the property is over four decades old, which may lead to higher maintenance costs or special assessments for common areas in the future, despite interior upgrades.
