Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1986, the property is in move-in ready condition with significant cosmetic updates. The interior features new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh neutral paint, and plantation shutters. While the bathroom retains some dated elements like the fluorescent light box and older vanity style, the overall maintenance is high and the unit functions well for its age.

Situated on the third floor, this unit boasts vaulted ceilings and serene fountain and garden views, providing a sense of spaciousness and tranquility rarely found in standard condominiums.
Residents enjoy access to high-end facilities including a heated lap pool, spa, fitness center, and the broader Lake San Marcos Community Association clubs and events.
The substantial HOA fees, starting at $3,212 per month, represent a significant recurring expense that may limit the pool of potential buyers to those with high fixed incomes.
