Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1974, this condo is 50 years old. While the description mentions 'upgraded' and the images show updated hard surface flooring throughout, the kitchen features dated white cabinets and older appliances (like the visible white refrigerator). The light fixtures are basic and not modern. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the kitchen and likely the bathroom (not fully shown) show clear signs of being outdated, fitting the 'Fair' criteria of an aged home with regular upkeep and occasional updates, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
The Watergate community offers an impressive array of amenities including four pools (two heated year-round), two tennis courts, a fitness center, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and 24-hour on-site security, providing a resort-like living experience.
Situated by the water in Emeryville, the property boasts exceptional access to public transportation, including the free 'Emery-Go-Round' shuttle to BART, Transbay bus to SF, AC Transit, and convenient freeway access (580, 80, 880).
The condo features hard surface flooring throughout and an open-concept kitchen and living room, providing a contemporary and maximized living space.
At 530 square feet and described as a 'junior 1 bedroom,' the unit is quite small, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious living arrangements.
The property relies on 'card & coin operated laundry facilities,' indicating a lack of in-unit laundry, which is a common preference for many modern buyers.
The property has been on the market since August 2021 and has seen a price increase from its original listing, suggesting potential challenges in attracting buyers or an initial overestimation of value.
