About This Home

Top-floor living, fully reimagined. This meticulously upgraded 1 bed / 1 bath condo in the gated Mission Grove Community offers the kind of privacy, quiet, and treetop views that only the top floor can deliver — and the interior lives up to every bit of it. Every room has been thoughtfully curated, from the transformed kitchen where quartz countertops, sleek modern cabinetry, and an expanded peninsula with generous room to prep, gather, and casual seating make everyday living feel effortless. Elegant light fixtures have been added in every room to create a light, calm, and modern feeling, including a statement bedroom fandelier that anchors the space with style and function. The bathroom offers a spa-inspired retreat with a quartz stone shower and boutique vanity, while the living room fireplace adds cozy ambiance with a new wood mantel and freshly painted finish. The private patio has been reimagined as a resort lounge — a lifestyle upgrade unlike anything else in the community. Lovingly owned since 1985 and move-in ready, this home sits centrally near Highways 280 and 101 with easy access to schools, light rail, shopping, and dining. Resort-style amenities include a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse, with low HOA dues covering water, trash, exterior maintenance, and building insurance. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or adding to your portfolio — this one checks every box. Don't miss it.
