Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and clean, but it remains in mostly original condition since its 1996 construction. The kitchen and bathroom feature dated oak cabinetry, white tile countertops with grout lines, and older white appliances (despite a recently replaced oven). The flooring consists of original-style tile, carpet, and linoleum. While the building has undergone major system upgrades (roof, boilers, elevators), the unit itself lacks the modern renovations required for a higher score, fitting the 'fair' criteria of being functional but aesthetically outdated.
As a top-floor penthouse, this residence offers an elevated living experience with impressive skyline views and a private balcony, distinguishing it from standard units in the building.
The property has been rarely lived in and features a kitchen with minimal use, complemented by significant building-wide capital improvements including a new roof and modernized elevators.
Boasting a high-convenience location, the property is within walking distance to SJSU, San Pedro Square, and major transit hubs like Caltrain and VTA Light Rail.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =954, other record lot size in square feet = 871.
The association fee of $956 per month is notably high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact the debt-to-income ratio for some buyers and overall monthly affordability.
With only one deeded parking space provided for a 1,023-square-foot residence, households with multiple vehicles may find the downtown parking situation challenging.
