Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this 60+ year old property is significantly dated. While the bathroom shows signs of a past renovation (granite-style countertop), the gold-trimmed shower enclosure and fixtures are likely 15-25 years old. The listing description explicitly mentions the need for 'TLC' to add value, indicating that while functional, the home requires cosmetic updates and minor repairs to meet modern standards.
Situated near the scenic Foster City waterways, the property offers excellent access to community amenities including a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, and nearby recreational fields.
The home requires some TLC, providing a significant opportunity for buyers or investors to customize the space and build equity through strategic renovations.
The 3-bedroom layout maximizes its square footage with great natural light and the added convenience of an in-unit full-size washer and dryer.
The monthly association fee of $850 is relatively high for this price point, which may impact overall affordability and the buyer's debt-to-income ratio.
With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the property's configuration may be a drawback for families or multi-occupant households.
