Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1980 (44 years old), the property appears well-maintained and move-in ready. Interior photos show updated flooring and fresh paint. The bathroom vanity and fixtures are functional and clean, suggesting a mid-life renovation (approx. 10-15 years ago) that keeps it above the 'Fair' threshold despite its chronological age.

With miles of scenic hiking trails practically at the doorstep, this home offers immediate access to outdoor recreation, making it a premier choice for nature lovers.
The townhouse perfectly balances a remote retreat feel with urban convenience, situated just minutes away from BART, public transit, and major shopping and dining centers.
The monthly HOA fee of $629 is substantial, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for prospective buyers.
Constructed in 1980, the home may require capital investments for modernizing interior finishes or addressing aging building systems compared to newer developments.
