More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: This property has undergone an extensive and recent remodel, as stated in the description and clearly visible in the images. The kitchen features modern light grey shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, new stainless steel LG appliances, and recessed lighting, all appearing virtually new. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and stylish tile work, including a new glass shower enclosure. New wood-look laminate flooring extends throughout the living areas and bedrooms, complemented by fresh paint and modern light fixtures/ceiling fans. While the building was constructed in 1973 and lacks central cooling (using wall units instead), the interior renovation is comprehensive and meets current quality standards, making it move-in ready with no deferred maintenance.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1200, other record living area = 961. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
Significant Monthly Association Fees: The association fee of $855.00 per month is substantial and could be a barrier for some buyers, despite the extensive amenities offered by the community.
Original Building Age: While the interior is fully remodeled, the building was constructed in 1973, which may imply older common area infrastructure or potential for future HOA assessments for building-wide updates.
Absence of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer periods in Southern California, potentially requiring a future installation.
