This townhouse, built in 1985, has undergone significant modern updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, white shaker-style cabinets, and modern countertops. Bathrooms are extensively renovated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling (including subway tile in showers). The property boasts beautiful hardwood flooring on the main level, clean carpeting upstairs, recessed lighting, and modern light fixtures in key areas like the dining room. While the original build year is older, the comprehensive and stylish renovations appear to be within the last 5-15 years, bringing the property up to current quality standards with minimal wear and tear. It does not quite meet the 'Excellent' criteria of being built within 10 years or extensively renovated within 5 years, but it far surpasses 'Fair' due to the quality and recency of the updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Downtown Location: Unbeatable access to San Carlos's vibrant downtown, offering walkability to Laurel Street dining, farmers markets, Burton Park, and community events, embodying the 'City of Good Living' lifestyle.
Updated & Modern Interior: The unit boasts beautiful flooring throughout, newer stainless steel kitchen appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, and an upgraded stacked washer/dryer, providing a contemporary and move-in ready living space.
Excellent School District Access: Situated within the highly-regarded San Carlos Elementary School District, with a top-rated Central Middle School (rating 9) just 0.16 miles away, making it attractive for families.
Functional Layout & Practical Amenities: Features a desirable layout with two en-suite bedrooms, a cozy fireplace for ambiance, two dedicated parking spaces, and a spacious storage unit in the garage, enhancing convenience and comfort.
Intimate Community Setting: Part of a small, six-unit townhouse-style condo building, offering a more private and potentially quieter living experience compared to larger complexes.

Cons

Ongoing Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: A monthly HOA fee of $375 adds to the recurring cost of ownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original listing price indicate potential market resistance or initial overpricing, which may affect perceived value or resale potential.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in San Carlos.
