Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1990 (34 years old), the property is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen features original oak cabinetry and white tile countertops which, despite newer stainless steel appliances, require updating to meet modern standards. The overall condition is functional and move-in ready, but the age of the systems and finishes aligns with the fair criteria.
As a desirable end-unit backing directly onto a natural preserve, this home offers exceptional privacy and immediate access to Pacheco Valley's extensive hiking and biking trails.
The availability of seller financing provides a significant advantage for buyers seeking creative or more accessible lending solutions in a fluctuating interest rate market.
Both spacious upstairs bedrooms feature private full bathrooms and balconies, creating a highly functional floor plan ideal for roommates, guests, or multi-generational living.
At $896 per month, the association fees are notably high, which may impact a buyer's monthly debt-to-income ratio and overall carrying costs.
With local school ratings currently at 5 and 6, the property may be less appealing to families specifically prioritizing the highest-rated school districts in Marin County.
