Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1964, and while the description mentions an 'updated kitchen,' the images reveal that some kitchen appliances (oven, microwave) appear older, and the granite countertop style, while functional, is not contemporary. The absence of bathroom images suggests they are likely not recently renovated to a high standard. The unit is clean and move-in ready, with good flooring and some modern built-ins, but the overall condition, particularly the kitchen's mixed age elements and the unknown state of the bathrooms, indicates it would benefit from further updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with a 'Fair' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Ocean Avenue Location: Situated on the highly coveted Ocean Avenue, offering unparalleled access to Santa Monica's world-class dining, shopping, entertainment, and the beach.
Exceptional Panoramic Views: Boasts breathtaking views of the coastline, sunsets, city lights, and even snow-capped mountains from nearly every angle, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Flexible & Updated Living Space: Features an open-concept corner unit with an updated kitchen, custom built-ins, a private balcony, and a flexible floor plan that can easily convert from a 1-bedroom + den back to a 2-bedroom.
Corner Unit Advantage: As a corner unit, it likely benefits from increased natural light, enhanced privacy, and more expansive views compared to interior units.
Strong School District Access: Located within a highly-rated school district, including top-rated elementary, middle, and high schools, adding value for families.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $1,505.71 per month is exceptionally high and could be a significant deterrent for potential buyers.
Building Age: Constructed in 1964, the building is over 50 years old, which may lead to higher maintenance costs, potential for future special assessments, or dated common areas.
Current 1-Bedroom Configuration: Although convertible, the current layout as a 1-bedroom plus office/den might narrow the buyer pool, as some prospective buyers specifically seek a dedicated 2-bedroom unit.
