Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. While it features laminate flooring throughout and appears well-maintained, the kitchen shows signs of being outdated with dark speckled countertops and a mix of appliance ages (newer stainless steel fridge, older black range). The cabinets are a classic white but likely from an older renovation. No bathroom images were provided, but given the kitchen's condition, it's reasonable to assume the bathroom is also functional but dated. The property is move-in ready and has had some updates (like the flooring), but the core kitchen and likely bathroom elements suggest a renovation that occurred 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Commuter Location: The property boasts a prime location with excellent access to major freeways, BART, and public transportation, making it highly convenient for commuters.
Rare In-Unit Washer and Dryer: A significant convenience and a rare find for a 1-bedroom unit, the in-unit washer and dryer adds considerable value and appeal.
Private Outdoor Spaces: The unit features two private balconies (front and back), offering valuable outdoor areas for relaxation, plants, or fresh air.
Dedicated Detached Garage: Includes a detached garage, providing secure parking and additional storage, which is a premium amenity for condominium living.
Well-Maintained Community & First-Floor Access: Located in a quiet and well-maintained community, with the added benefit of being a first-floor unit for easy access.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $546.0 monthly association fee is substantial and significantly increases the overall cost of homeownership.
Limited Square Footage: At 531 sqft, the unit is quite compact, which may limit its appeal to buyers desiring more expansive living space.
Sub-Par School Ratings: The surrounding schools, particularly the middle school with a rating of 1, could be a deterrent for families or impact future resale value.
