Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, this condo has received some recent cosmetic updates, including fresh paint, modern laminate flooring throughout, and an updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, light countertops, and a contemporary black sink/faucet. However, the listing explicitly states that the bathrooms require upgrading for 'added luxury,' indicating they are dated. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the age of the building and the need for bathroom renovations prevent it from achieving a 'Good' score, placing it in the 'Fair' category where minor updates are required and some components show signs of being outdated.
The condo boasts an ideal location, close to shopping, dining, entertainment, and a short drive to the beach, with easy freeway access for convenient commuting.
