Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1991, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready with fresh paint and updated kitchen appliances. However, it lacks a full recent renovation; the bathroom features original 1990s-style cabinetry, tile, and fixtures, which aligns with the 'fair' criteria for a home over 20 years old that has been maintained but not extensively modernized.
Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
The residence boasts 10-foot ceilings and a top-floor position, offering superior privacy, abundant natural light, and unobstructed views of the surrounding Marin hills.
Residents benefit from a comprehensive service package including chef-prepared dining, weekly housekeeping, 24-hour gated security, and a wellness center, ensuring a high-quality lifestyle.
The monthly association fee of $3,089 is substantial and represents a significant recurring cost that may impact the overall affordability for some buyers.
As a 55+ community, the property is limited to a specific buyer demographic, which naturally narrows the potential market for future resale or rental opportunities.
