Inside information from the
#1 condo agents in Carmel Valley.

Minimal but practical upgrades.

• Updated distressed wood flooring throughout the main living spaces and bedrooms ($8,000-10,000).

• Newer kitchen countertops ($2,000).

• Updated bedroom closet. Converted from tradtional sliding doors to cabinet-style doors.

• New (2021) LG full-size washer/dryer ($2,000).

The lower levell unit is recessed from the main walkway and has a desirable northwesterly facing view - which captures a reasonable amount of sunlight throughout the year. The unit overlooks the large flowing pond filled with koi.

CON'S

The unit location may be subject to some privacy issues.

BUYERS INSIGHT

The unit appears to be in good condition, but there's opportunity for improvements. A comparison Arborlake property worth mentioning is (MLS #220005403SD). A similar 1 bed and 1 bath unit that SOLD  for $815,000 (April 2022). Although this particular sales transaction occured before the unofficial end of the "Seller's Market" (June 2022), it is an example of how desirable these units are and what some improvements can do to the market value of the unit.
