Built in 1961, this condo shows its age, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features very dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, an old tile backsplash, and older white appliances. The bathroom has an outdated vanity, integrated sink, and basic lighting. While the living areas have decent hardwood/laminate flooring, the overall aesthetic and components are functional but significantly outdated, requiring substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. There are no visible signs of major structural defects, but the property has not undergone a major renovation in many years, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Situated in the heart of San Rafael's vibrant Canal neighborhood, offering quick access to Hwy 101, and close proximity to parks, trails, restaurants, and shopping.
Residents benefit from access to a community pool and a private deck overlooking the courtyard, enhancing lifestyle and comfort.
Ideal for families, the condo is conveniently located near Bahia Vista Elementary, Davidson Middle, and San Rafael High schools.
Built in 1961, the property is over 60 years old, which may imply potential for deferred maintenance, outdated systems, or a need for modernization.
A monthly association fee of $600 is substantial and can significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and investment returns.
The property features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which could be a practical inconvenience for multiple occupants or families.
Offering strong value and upside potential, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo spans approximately 908 sq ft and sits in the heart of San Rafael's vibrant Canal neighborhood. The layout is ideal for roommates, small families, or downsizers, with a private deck overlooking the courtyard and access to a community pool for added comfort. Investors will appreciate the healthy upside potential, while owner-occupants will enjoy proximity to Bahia Vista Elementary, Davidson Middle, San Rafael High, and quick access to Hwy 101.
