Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1980, is move-in ready and features significant recent updates. The kitchen boasts modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a subway tile backsplash, indicating a renovation likely within the last 5-10 years. Luxurious vinyl plank flooring has been installed in main living areas. The primary bathroom is described with updated features like a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. However, the second full bathroom appears dated with its small brown tiled countertop and shower surround, and the kitchen retains a dated fluorescent light fixture. Despite these minor outdated elements, the overall condition is well-maintained with substantial renovations that align with a 'Good' rating.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The association fee of $851.0 per month is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership.
Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1980, while cosmetic updates are present, major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
Lack of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a drawback for comfort during warmer months in San Jose.
