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score, placing it in the 'Fair' category where minor updates are required and some components show signs of being outdated.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.
Residents benefit from valuable on-site amenities including a pool, clubhouse, and laundry facilities, enhancing the overall living experience.
The unit is well-maintained, move-in ready, and features recent upgrades such as fresh paint throughout, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
The association fee of $593.0 is relatively high, which can impact affordability and long-term ownership costs for potential buyers.
The description suggests that bathrooms may require upgrading for 'added luxury,' indicating they are likely not modern and could incur additional renovation costs.
The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which can be a drawback in a desirable coastal market where views often command a premium.
