More Insights
Built in 1965 (61 years old).
Condition: This property is move-in ready with significant recent updates, including new carpet and luxury plank flooring, fresh interior paint, modern lighting, and a freshly updated hall bathroom with new fixtures and hardware. The master bathroom also features updated vanity and fixtures. However, the kitchen, while clean and functional, retains an older style with tile countertops and older white appliances, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. The overall condition is very good due to the extensive recent renovations.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Burton Valley Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: M. H. Stanley Middle School (9/10). High School: Acalanes High School (10/10).
Premier 55+ Community & Amenities: Located in Rossmoor, a highly sought-after 55+ community with world-class amenities including golf, pickleball, and a fitness center, fostering an active and engaging lifestyle.
Extensive Interior Renovations: The unit has undergone significant recent updates, including a freshly updated hall bathroom, new flooring (carpet and luxury plank), new interior paint, and modern lighting, offering a move-in ready experience.
Added Functional Living Space: The bonus enclosed patio provides valuable additional space, perfect for a sun-drenched home office or hobby room, enhancing the unit's versatility.
In-Unit Laundry Capability: The newly installed washer/dryer hookups offer a highly desirable and convenient amenity for residents, a significant upgrade for a CO-OP.
End-Unit with Pleasant Views: As an upper end-unit, it likely benefits from more natural light and offers serene views of the park/greenbelt and trees/woods, enhancing its appeal.
Cons
Substantial Monthly Association Fee: The high monthly association fee of $1383.0 could be a significant financial burden and a barrier for some prospective buyers, impacting affordability and long-term costs.
Cooperative (CO-OP) Ownership Structure: The CO-OP ownership model can present unique financing challenges, stricter approval processes, and less traditional property rights compared to standard condominium ownership, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Building Age: While the interior is updated, the building itself dates back to 1965, which may raise concerns about the age of common area infrastructure and potential for future assessments or maintenance costs.
