Property is move-in ready.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant recent cosmetic upgrades including new vinyl flooring and fresh paint. While the kitchen cabinetry and fluorescent lighting are dated (estimated 15-20 years old), the home is functional and clean, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained older renovation.
As an end-unit with only one shared wall, this property offers significantly more privacy and a quieter living environment than typical townhomes in the community.
The low monthly HOA fee of $230 is highly competitive for Monterey Park and includes essential utilities like water and trash, reducing overall monthly carrying costs for owners.
The combination of a spacious 2-car garage with direct interior access and newly installed vinyl flooring provides both modern aesthetic appeal and high daily convenience.
Built in 1979, the property may soon require updates to major systems or structural components that fall outside of the recent cosmetic flooring upgrades.
The property is noted as having no views, which may limit its appeal to buyers who prioritize aesthetic vistas or a sense of openness from their windows.
