Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1982, this property is explicitly described as needing an 'extensive remodel.' The images confirm this, showcasing a severely dated kitchen with original-era cabinets, laminate countertops, and very old appliances (stove, microwave, dishwasher). The bathroom is equally outdated with a basic tub/shower combo and worn flooring. Throughout the unit, there is old, worn carpet and dated light fixtures. While the structure appears sound, the interior condition requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, making it uncomfortable in its current state.
Excellent access to major highways (101 & 92), San Francisco International Airport, and minutes from vibrant downtown San Mateo, enhancing convenience and commute.
The Villa Nova community offers a gym, spa, social room, BBQ area, and a peaceful courtyard, providing a resort-like living experience for residents.
Includes one deeded parking space and a private storage room, both conveniently accessible by elevator, adding significant practical value and convenience.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =43560, other record lot size in square feet = 63584.
The unit explicitly 'needs a remodel to make it shine again,' indicating a substantial additional investment and effort required from the buyer.
A monthly association fee of $595 is considerable and will significantly impact the overall affordability and ongoing carrying costs for the owner.
