Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Upgrades: The unit boasts comprehensive recent renovations including new windows, flooring, paint, an updated kitchen with new appliances, new doors, blinds, heater, and bathroom vanities, making it genuinely move-in ready.
Prime Silicon Valley Location: Situated in a desirable Sunnyvale community, offering immediate access to major tech hubs, vibrant shopping, dining, and all major freeways, enhancing lifestyle and potential appreciation.
Attractive HOA & Parking: Features explicitly low HOA dues and includes two dedicated parking spaces (one covered carport with storage, one permitted), which are significant conveniences and cost-savers for condo living.
Private Outdoor & Storage Space: The inclusion of a cozy private patio and additional private storage (including carport cabinets) provides valuable personal outdoor space and practical storage solutions, often rare in condo units.
Strong School District Access: Located within the attendance boundaries of highly-rated schools, including Homestead High School (rating 8), which is a key draw for families.

Cons

Compact Living Space: With 760 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath layout, the unit offers limited living space, which may not suit buyers seeking more expansive interiors or those with larger families.
Significant Price History Discrepancy: The current list price of $680,000 is substantially lower than its 2018 sale price of $880,000, which could raise questions for potential buyers regarding market value, previous overvaluation, or undisclosed factors.
Aging Building Infrastructure: While the interior is updated, the building itself was constructed in 1983, making it over 40 years old. This could imply potential future maintenance needs or special assessments for common area components, despite currently low HOA dues.
