More Insights

Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1991, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation. The kitchen features contemporary wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and high-end KitchenAid and Bosch stainless steel appliances, all appearing virtually new. The bathrooms are also fully updated with modern vanities, fixtures, glass shower enclosures, and subway tiling. Wide-plank flooring throughout, modern light fixtures, and fresh paint contribute to an overall 'like-new' condition, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

Spacious Penthouse Townhome Layout: A rare top-floor, corner, three-level unit spanning 2,264 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms plus a versatile loft, providing the feel and space of a single-family home alternative.
Panoramic Views & Multiple Outdoor Areas: Enjoy stunning treetop, city lights, and ocean views from multiple levels, complemented by a main-level balcony and additional outdoor spaces on the upper loft level.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The $700.0 monthly association fee is a significant ongoing expense that could impact affordability and budget for potential buyers.
Condominium Lifestyle Limitations: Despite its spaciousness and 'single-family home alternative' appeal, it remains a condominium with shared walls and HOA rules, which may not suit buyers desiring complete privacy or a traditional detached home with a private yard.
Potential for Future Building Assessments: As a 1991-built building, while well-maintained, older common systems or structural elements could eventually require significant repairs or upgrades, potentially leading to special assessments for unit owners.
