Built in 1981, this penthouse has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen, which features modern stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and white shaker-style cabinets. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained with dual vanities and recessed lighting. The property boasts central air/heat, double-pane windows, and recessed lighting throughout, indicating recent improvements. While the carpeted living areas and bedrooms are clean, they prevent an 'excellent' rating, which typically implies newer hard flooring throughout. Overall, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with a 'good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views & Prime Location: Offers unobstructed city and mountain views, west-facing for stunning sunsets, and is ideally situated just four blocks from the beach, top restaurants, and scenic paths in the desirable Silicon Beach area.
Penthouse with Dramatic Architecture: A two-story penthouse unit featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an expansive living space, creating a bright, contemporary, and open aesthetic.
Modern & Updated Interior: Boasts an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, along with modern conveniences such as central air/heat, in-unit laundry, double-pane windows, and recessed lighting.
Comprehensive Community Amenities: Located within Playa Serena, a secure gated community offering a pool, fitness center, sauna, and spa, providing a resort-like living experience.
Versatile Layout & Added Value: Includes a flexible loft space (potential 3rd bedroom/office), a private balcony, two-car parking, a secured storage closet, and HOA dues that cover internet, water, and trash.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $739.23 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing financial commitment for potential buyers.
Building Age (1981): While the unit is updated, the building itself was constructed in 1981, which could imply older common area infrastructure and potential for future special assessments for major repairs or upgrades.
Condominium Lifestyle Limitations: As a condominium, it inherently involves shared walls, potential for noise from neighbors, and restrictions on exterior modifications, which may not suit buyers seeking greater privacy or autonomy.
