Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, the unit features some cosmetic refreshes such as painted kitchen cabinets and updated countertops. However, the bathroom tiling, shower enclosures, and main area flooring appear dated (likely 20+ years old). While functional and move-in ready, the property requires minor updates to meet modern standards.
As a top-floor corner unit with cathedral ceilings and no shared bedroom walls, this property offers superior privacy, exceptional natural light, and a sense of volume rarely found in standard condominium layouts.
The unit features highly sought-after conveniences including a private in-unit laundry room and two side-by-side parking spaces equipped with an electric vehicle charging station, adding significant long-term value.
The property boasts panoramic, tree-fringed views of the rolling hills and city lights, which can be enjoyed from the oversized balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a serene living environment.
The monthly HOA fee of $785 is relatively high for a two-bedroom unit at this price point, which may impact overall affordability and the buyer's debt-to-income ratio.
Built in 1980, the complex may require more frequent maintenance or face potential special assessments for common area upgrades compared to newer developments in the surrounding area.
