Condition Rating
Good

This historic property, built in 1928, has undergone a significant 'transformation' and is presented as 'exquisite historic perfection.' While the kitchen features period cabinets and a vintage stove, they appear well-maintained and functional, aligning with the property's classic aesthetic. The bathroom has been updated with high-quality Carrera marble and period-appropriate fixtures, making it clean and functional, though not modern in style. Hardwood floors are in good condition, and the building's major systems are likely well-maintained given the all-inclusive HOA. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, fitting the 'good' category for a well-preserved and updated historic home.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic Significance & Architecture: The property is located in the iconic Villa Riviera, a National Register of Historic Places landmark, offering unique old-world charm, classic design, and distinctive architectural features like 12ft ceilings and French mullion windows.
Significant Tax Savings: Benefits from the Mills Act, providing transferable property tax savings of $3125 annually, a substantial financial advantage for the new owner.
All-Inclusive HOA Dues: The HOA fee covers all utilities including gas, electrical, water, hot water, heat, cable TV, and internet, simplifying budgeting and reducing monthly expenses.
Prime Walkable Location: Boasts a high Walk Score of 97, situated on the seaside with easy access to East Village, Shoreline Village, Downtown, Aquarium of the Pacific, and the 7-mile bike path.
Homebuyer Grant Eligibility: Located in a census tract eligible for up to $20,000 in non-repayable homebuyer grants, offering a significant financial incentive for qualified buyers.

Cons

Parking Limitations: Immediate on-site parking is not available, with a waitlist for assigned spaces and only 6 months of off-site parking provided, which could be inconvenient for residents with vehicles.
Compact Living Space: Described as a 'Junior One Bedroom/Studio' with approximately 580 sq ft, which may be too small for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or a distinct, private bedroom.
Vintage Kitchen Appliances: The galley kitchen features period cabinets and a vintage stove, which, while charming, may not meet modern efficiency or functionality expectations for all buyers.
