More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1973, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, including a brand-new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and new backsplash. New LVP flooring, new stair carpeting, and 2024 split A/C units contribute to a move-in ready condition. The primary bathroom is updated and spa-inspired, though its style appears to be a bit older than the kitchen's brand-new look, fitting within the 5-15 year renovation window. Overall, the property presents as well-maintained with significant modern updates, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Ideally situated near Ventura Boulevard's dining and shopping, within walking distance to Trader Joe's, and offering effortless access to the 101 and 405 freeways for convenient commuting and leisure.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: The property boasts significant modernization with brand-new LVP flooring, updated kitchen and baths, smart-home controls, and new split A/C units installed in 2024, ensuring move-in readiness and contemporary appeal.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of high-end community amenities including a large pool, two indoor spas, two saunas, a fitness center, and a clubhouse lounge, promoting a luxurious and active lifestyle.

Private, Home-like Living: As an end-unit townhouse with exclusive street access, direct entry from a private 2-car garage, and only one shared wall, the property provides a sense of privacy and independence akin to a detached home.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =219865, other record lot size in square feet = 219797.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The $865 monthly association fee, while inclusive of many services, is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost factor for potential buyers, impacting overall affordability.
Building Age: Constructed in 1973, the property's underlying structure is over 50 years old. Despite recent interior updates, this age may lead to potential future maintenance or repair needs for components not covered by the HOA.
Attached Dwelling Limitations: As a townhouse, the property inherently has a shared wall and is part of a larger complex, which may limit autonomy over exterior modifications and could result in less privacy compared to a fully detached single-family residence.
