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.
The property overlooks the untouched beauty of Wildcat Canyon, offering breathtaking views from every window that provide a rare sense of tranquility and privacy.
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.
