Condition: Built in 1974, this townhome has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including fully renovated bathrooms with modern fixtures and tiling, brand-new carpet upstairs, and updated flooring downstairs. The interior features fresh paint and recessed lighting, creating a clean, modern, and move-in ready feel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Foster City Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Foster City Location: Located in the highly sought-after Winston Square community in Foster City, offering excellent proximity to parks, top-rated schools, shopping, and major commuter routes, enhancing desirability and convenience.
Extensively Updated Interior: Thoughtfully refreshed with new interior paint, fully renovated bathrooms, brand-new carpet upstairs, and updated flooring downstairs, providing a modern, clean, and move-in ready aesthetic.
Desirable End-Unit Floor Plan: As an end-unit, it benefits from added privacy and abundant natural light. It also features one of the largest and most desirable 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom floor plans (2030 sqft) in the complex, offering generous living space.
Exceptional Community Amenities with Low HOA: A modest $275/month HOA fee provides access to outstanding community amenities including two swimming pools, a clubhouse, and multiple play areas, significantly enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Private Indoor-Outdoor Living: Features a private, updated patio perfect for relaxing, hosting guests, or dining al fresco, seamlessly extending the home's living space outdoors.

Cons

Age of Building Systems: Built in 1974, while cosmetically updated, the underlying major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement costs.
Shared Wall Structure: As a townhome, it shares walls with adjacent units. Despite being an end-unit, this can still lead to potential noise transfer or reduced privacy compared to a detached single-family home.
Limited Private Land: The 2096 sqft lot size is typical for a townhome but offers minimal private outdoor space beyond the described patio, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard or more expansive personal grounds.
