Built in 1962, this property is over 60 years old. While the description mentions 'newer oven and fridge,' the visual evidence, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen (cabinets, countertops, flooring), indicates a significantly outdated aesthetic. The bathroom features an old-style vanity, laminate countertop, and dated linoleum flooring. The kitchen, despite updated appliances, retains dated cabinetry and flooring. The property is functional but requires substantial cosmetic and functional rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, going beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Comprehensive Senior Amenities: The Leisure World community offers an unparalleled array of amenities including a golf course, multiple clubhouses, pools, gym, diverse recreational courts, and over 200 clubs, catering to an active senior lifestyle.
Prime Internal Location: Strategically situated near the North Gate for easy access and within walking distance to key community hubs like Clubhouses 3 & 4, the library, and various activity centers.
Enhanced Kitchen Features: The kitchen boasts newer appliances (oven, fridge) and an operable skylight, providing modern functionality and natural light.
Indoor/Outdoor Living Space: A sliding glass door from the bedroom opens to a private patio, offering desirable indoor/outdoor flow.
Gated & Secure Community: The property is located within a security-guard-gated community, providing peace of mind and an enhanced sense of safety.

Cons

Stock Cooperative Ownership Structure: This type of ownership can present challenges with financing, equity accumulation, and may appeal to a narrower buyer pool compared to traditional condominiums.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $544.34 monthly association fee is substantial for a 600 sqft unit, potentially impacting affordability and long-term costs for buyers.
Compact Unit Size & Age: At 600 sqft, the unit is quite small, and built in 1962, it may require further updates beyond the kitchen to meet modern preferences or address aging infrastructure, potentially indicated by the 'owner motivated' status and price reduction.
