Condition Rating
Good
The unit, built in 1982, has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which feature modern appliances, cabinetry, and finishes. The living areas have well-maintained hardwood floors and contemporary lighting. While the building itself is over 40 years old and the unit lacks central air conditioning (an implied weakness), the interior is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for extensively renovated properties.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Santa Monica Location: Situated in the heart of Santa Monica, just blocks from the beach and Montana Avenue's vibrant restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, offering unparalleled walkability and lifestyle.
Updated & Bright Interior: The unit is described as 'very bright and cheery' with an 'abundance of light,' featuring a fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom, ensuring modern comfort and aesthetics.
Generous Outdoor Living Space: Includes a large private terrace off the living area, perfect for entertaining, and a private terrace with tree-top views from the primary suite, enhancing indoor/outdoor living.
Desirable Unit Amenities: Features a spacious living room with a fireplace, a large walk-in closet and dual sinks in the primary suite, and an extra storage closet in the parking area.
HOA Inclusions & School District: Earthquake insurance is included in the HOA dues, and the property benefits from proximity to highly-rated public schools (9, 8, 8, 8).

Cons

High HOA Dues: The association fee of $1,080.00 per month is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost for ownership, even with earthquake insurance included.
Building Age: Built in 1982, the building is over 40 years old. While the unit is updated, the age of the overall structure and common systems may lead to future maintenance considerations or special assessments.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning (Implied): The property description does not mention a cooling system, which is common for older coastal properties but could be a drawback for buyers seeking central air conditioning for comfort during warmer periods.
