Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1980, the property has undergone significant updates including a modern kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring throughout, and recent exterior improvements like new siding and decking. It is in move-in ready condition with a renovation age likely in the 5-15 year range.
The property includes an attached two-car garage, a highly uncommon and premium feature for a condominium that provides significant convenience and additional storage space.
The community has already completed SB326 requirements, including new siding and updated decking, reducing the risk of immediate special assessments for major exterior maintenance.
As a top-floor unit, the residence benefits from increased natural light and the absence of overhead neighbors, all while being situated moments from the dining and shopping of downtown Burlingame.
The assigned elementary school carries a lower rating (4/10), which may be a consideration for families prioritizing high-performing school districts and could impact future resale demand.
While the HOA permits future installation, the unit currently lacks an in-unit washer and dryer, requiring the buyer to invest in plumbing and electrical upgrades to add this convenience.
