Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1963 and, while it features updated hardwood-style flooring and a clean interior, it remains architecturally dated with original-style hollow-core doors and an older balcony. It appears well-maintained and move-in ready, but the age of the structure and lack of evidence for a recent full kitchen or bath renovation (>15 years) aligns with the fair category.
Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
Located in The Meadows, the property offers an impressive array of community features including pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse, sauna, and EV charging stations, providing a high-end lifestyle experience.
The home boasts exceptional accessibility, situated just minutes from Highway 101, Kaiser Permanente, Northgate shopping, and local markets, making it ideal for commuters and those seeking convenience.
At $815 per month, the association fees are notably high for a one-bedroom unit, which may impact buyer affordability and overall monthly carrying costs.
With only 680 square feet of living space, the compact one-bedroom layout may feel restrictive for some buyers and limits the property's appeal to a smaller demographic.
