Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1987, this condo is 37 years old. However, it presents as move-in ready with several recent updates. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and refreshed white cabinets with new hardware, though the tile countertops are dated. The living areas boast new-looking laminate wood flooring and fresh white paint throughout, along with updated lighting fixtures like recessed lights and a modern ceiling fan. The bathroom is clean and functional, but its vanity and floor tiling show signs of an older style. Overall, the property is well-maintained and has received significant cosmetic updates within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties that are move-in ready with functional systems and some updated components, despite not having undergone a full, recent, high-end renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Assumable VA Loan: A significant financial advantage with a 4.75% assumable VA loan, offering a lower interest rate in the current market.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located near outdoor recreation (Santee Lakes, Mission Trails, Cowles Mountain) and urban amenities (restaurants, shopping, major highways).
Desirable Community Amenities: Access to resort-style community amenities including a spa and landscaped greenbelts, enhancing lifestyle.
Updated & Well-Maintained Interior: Features an updated kitchen, open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and in-unit laundry, described as beautifully maintained.
Private Outdoor Space: Includes a private balcony, providing a dedicated area for relaxation or entertaining.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Fees: The $444.0 monthly association fee adds a substantial recurring cost to ownership.
No View: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which may be a deterrent for buyers seeking scenic outlooks.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: Santee's climate can be hot, and the description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a comfort concern.
