More Insights
Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: The property benefits from recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new laminate flooring, and new kitchen appliances, along with an upgraded electrical panel. However, the kitchen cabinets, despite being painted, are dated in style, and the bathroom, including the vanity, tile, and fixtures, appears largely original to the 1973 build and is significantly outdated. These areas are functional but show clear signs of age and would require minor to moderate updates to meet modern aesthetic standards.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent Updates & Condition: The property has been recently refreshed with an upgraded electrical panel, new kitchen appliances, and fresh paint throughout, offering a move-in ready experience with reduced immediate maintenance needs.
Unique Condo Layout: As a ground-floor condo with no neighbors above or below, it provides enhanced privacy and a more house-like feel, minimizing noise transfer and offering direct access.
Convenient Parking & Storage: The inclusion of two-car off-street parking (one covered) and additional storage in the carport is a significant advantage, especially in areas where parking can be competitive.
Desirable Local Amenities: Its prime location offers walking distance access to Bahia Vista Elementary, Albert J Boro Community Center, and the updated Pickleweed Park with a brand new playground, appealing to families and those seeking community engagement.
Excellent Commuter Access: The property boasts easy access to major highways 580 and 101, making it highly convenient for commuters traveling to various parts of the Bay Area.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom unit, it may present practical challenges for multiple occupants or guests, potentially impacting convenience and future resale appeal.
Compact Living Space: The total living area of 810 sqft is relatively small, which might not accommodate buyers seeking more spacious interiors or those with larger furniture and extensive belongings.
High Association Fees: The association fee of $689 is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers.
