More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: Built in 1964, this unit has undergone extensive interior renovations, making it move-in ready. It features modern wide-plank wood laminate flooring, updated kitchen with contemporary wood cabinets, quartz countertops, and a mix of stainless steel and white appliances. The bathrooms have also been updated with granite vanities and modern tiling. Newer double-pane windows are a significant upgrade. While the unit is well-maintained and updated, the reliance on portable air conditioning units and the older aesthetic of the building's exterior prevent an 'Excellent' rating. Some kitchen and bath finishes, though updated, are not cutting-edge contemporary.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1259, other record living area = 1191.
Portable Air Conditioning: The property relies on portable air conditioning units in each room instead of a central AC system, which can be less efficient, noisier, and occupy floor space, potentially affecting comfort during warmer months.
High HOA Fees: The monthly HOA fee of $701 is substantial, which, despite its inclusive nature (water, trash, grounds, earthquake insurance), represents a significant ongoing cost that could impact affordability for some buyers.
Building Age: Built in 1964, the building is over 50 years old. While the interior unit is updated, potential buyers may have concerns regarding the age of the overall building's infrastructure and common areas, which are not explicitly stated as having been recently renovated.
