Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1981, this property has undergone a significant and recent renovation, making it move-in ready. The kitchen and bathroom are extensively updated with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile, all appearing new and in excellent condition. New light wood-look flooring, fresh paint, and updated light fixtures are present throughout. While the cosmetic updates are of high quality and very current, the underlying structure is over 40 years old, and there's no explicit information regarding the replacement of major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing). This places it in the 'Good' category, indicating a well-maintained property with extensive, high-quality updates, but not necessarily 'all components new or virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating.
Pros & Cons

Unique Condo Style: This rare carriage house-style condo offers the privacy of a detached home with no shared walls or neighbors above/below, a significant advantage for condo living.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Enjoy easy freeway access for commuting and close proximity to downtown Martinez, including shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Light-Filled & Quiet Community: The unit is described as light-filled and tucked away in a quiet community, enhancing comfort and living quality.
Broad Buyer Appeal: Ideal for first-time buyers, those downsizing, or investors seeking a 1031 Exchange opportunity, broadening its market reach.
Recent Price Improvement: A recent price reduction from $365,000 to $355,000 indicates a motivated seller and potentially better value for buyers.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $560.0 per month is substantial for a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit and could impact affordability.
Compact Living Space: With 817 square feet and only one bathroom, the property offers limited living space, which may not suit all buyer needs or family sizes.
Age of Property: Built in 1981, the property is over 40 years old, suggesting potential for older systems, finishes, or deferred maintenance not explicitly mentioned as updated.
