Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property, built in 1988, has been beautifully updated throughout, featuring a high-end kitchen with a Wolf gas range, quality appliances, granite countertops, and modern white cabinetry. Bathrooms are also updated with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities, indicating recent renovations. Interior finishes like hardwood floors, wainscoting, and crown molding are in excellent condition. While the interior is clearly move-in ready and extensively renovated, the exterior of the building appears consistent with its 1988 build year, and the property analysis notes the 'Age of Building Structure' as a potential weakness, suggesting that not all components are 'virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating. Therefore, it falls into the 'Good' category, being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Bird Rock Elementary School (10/10).

  • Direct Bayfront Location & Unobstructed Views

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Monthly Association Fees

    The property has a substantial monthly association fee of $721.0, which adds a considerable recurring cost to homeownership.

  • Age of Building Structure

    Built in 1988, the underlying building infrastructure is over 35 years old. While the interior is updated, potential buyers should consider the age of common area systems and potential for future assessments.

  • Condominium Lifestyle Limitations

    As a condominium, the property inherently involves shared walls, potential for noise transfer from neighbors, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may not suit all buyers seeking complete autonomy or privacy.
