Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, the property is functional but significantly dated, aligning with the 'fair' criteria for homes over 20 years old with no major recent renovations. The kitchen retains older dark wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, and aged white appliances. Interior finishes, including the worn carpeting and basic tile flooring, show visible signs of wear and tear. While the high open-beam ceilings provide architectural interest, the overall condition requires cosmetic updates and modernization to meet current market standards.
Priced competitively at $349,900, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit offers an accessible entry point for first-time homebuyers or investors in the Salinas market.
The interior features high open-beam ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, providing a spacious feel and aesthetic charm rarely found in standard condominiums.
Residents benefit from a private, spacious balcony with lake views and access to a community clubhouse, enhancing the overall lifestyle and recreational value.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
The monthly HOA fee of $830 is substantial relative to the listing price, which may deter budget-conscious buyers and significantly impact the overall monthly carrying costs.
Built in 1979 and featuring older carpet and tile finishes, the property likely requires capital improvements and modern updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
