The Marc, apartment 704
Updated November 10, 2026 · By b. (findwithb.com)
A 675 sq ft one bedroom on the 7th floor of a 1965 high rise, freshly turned over with plank vinyl floors, new bedroom carpet, espresso shaker cabinets and white quartz look counters. Both main rooms have floor to ceiling glass onto a long, narrow northeast facing balcony with an open treetop view. The trade offs: an in unit LG washer dryer takes the place of the dishwasher the listings promise, the 2009 Hotpoint appliances stayed, only the living room has air conditioning, and there are no ceiling lights in the main rooms.

Inside the apartment
Walking in
You come in from a long, hushed, carpeted corridor, where bagged trash sits outside doors in the afternoon for valet pickup, into a short, low ceilinged foyer. Straight ahead the hall opens onto a wall of glass, and your eye slides over long gray brown planks to dark green pines and a pale, bright sky. It feels instantly airy, clean and freshly redone, with crisp white trim, new paint and a soft carpeted bedroom glimpsed on your left.
Light and windows
Both main rooms have their entire outer wall in glass, facing northeast, so by day the home feels bright, open and generous with light. Direct sun arrives only in the early morning: low and slanting in fall, lasting toward midday in early summer until the balcony slab above cuts it off, and barely reaching you in midwinter. Afternoons are softly shaded and glare free. At mid afternoon on the tour the balcony sat in cool shade while the trees and roofs below glowed in sun. The bedroom can go dark behind charcoal roller shades, though thin bright edges likely leak around them, and the living room has light beige filtering shades. After dusk it turns dim and lamp dependent, because the living room, dining corner and bedroom have no ceiling lights. Only the kitchen, foyer, hall and bath are lit from above, and the kitchen counters fall into shadow under the upper cabinets.
Space and layout
The plan is simple, linear and easy to live in. The short foyer opens on one side into a compact, enclosed galley kitchen, so groceries go straight from the door to the fridge, and a hall runs past the bathroom, a long walk in closet and the bedroom to the living room. The living room is the roomy, open heart, wide and deep with the glass at its far end, and the dining corner sits at the kitchen end by a raised bar ledge. The bedroom is a calm, carpeted, well proportioned room where a queen bed fits comfortably and a king only tightly, with the headboard on a solid wall so you face the glass. Closets are generous everywhere: entry, coat, linen and a long walk in. The cook is tucked behind walls rather than facing guests, so hosting means a small table near the kitchen. The balcony runs the full width past both rooms but is a narrow, shallow walkway, lovely for a chair and plants, too tight for a dining set, and the wall unit's outdoor box claims one end.
Sound during the visit
Inside it felt hushed and still: on the phone audio the quietest indoor moments were clearly softer than the balcony. Step outside and the air gets livelier, a mild outdoor murmur likely from the parking lot below, neighbors' wall units on adjacent balconies and downtown residential streets. The noisiest things are your own. The wall unit's compressor and fan sit in the living room corner and would hum through video calls when it cycles, and the washer dryer in the open kitchen spins fast and dries for a long time a few steps from the sofa. The plush carpeted bedroom, away from the wall unit, is the softest and quietest corner. Balcony end screens stop short of the floor and slab, so voices carry between neighbors, and pipes crossing the entry closet ceiling may carry drain sounds from above.

Kitchen and appliances
Recorded finding · Not observed in the recording
No dishwasher in the kitchen; the 24 in under counter slot holds an LG washer dryer instead
Every base position in the L shaped kitchen was shown (drawer over door base left of the range, base right of the range, four drawer corner bank, sink base, washer dryer, open overhang). None is a dishwasher. The LG combo is 24 in wide, the standard dishwasher width, and sits beside the sink where a dishwasher would normally go. The official FAQ says all apartment homes include a dishwasher, and the amenities page, RentCafe, ApartmentList and Knock list Dishwasher.
Not observed in the recordingTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4 · Tour reference 5
Why it may matter: All dishes are washed by hand. A listing claim (dishwasher in all homes) is contradicted for this unit; renters who rely on a dishwasher should treat this as a deal point.
Ask the manager: Was the dishwasher removed to fit the in unit washer dryer? Do other units on offer have both?
Recorded finding · Inference
Renovated kitchen kept a 2009 Hotpoint appliance suite
New looking espresso cabinets, white counters, a Kraus sink, a pull down faucet and a near new LG washer dryer sit beside a refrigerator built January 2009 and a range and microwave of the same silver metallic Hotpoint generation.
InferenceTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4
Why it may matter: Finishes look renovated, but the core cooking appliances are entry level and older; the refrigerator is past its typical life.
Ask the manager: Are appliance replacements planned, and will a failed appliance be replaced with new?
Recorded finding · Inference
Refrigerator is about 17 years old, past the 9 to 13 year typical life
Serial [device identifier removed] decodes to January 2009 on GE's date code chart.
InferenceTour reference 1
Why it may matter: Higher odds of a breakdown and food loss during the lease; older units also use more electricity, which the renter pays.
Ask the manager: Will the refrigerator be replaced before move in?
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Refrigerator door opens toward the kitchen entry
The refrigerator stands at the end of the run right at the cased opening from the hallway, hinged on the opening side.
Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 60%Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2The stored frame check does not independently establish this detail. Confirm before relying on it.
Why it may matter: With the door open, the way into the kitchen narrows; two people cooking will bump here.
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Microwave vent duct sealed with wrinkled foil tape and fitted with a manual damper
Inside the cabinet above the microwave, the round duct has foil tape at a mid joint and at the microwave transition, a damper lever on its side, and paint over everything.
Observed in the recordingTour reference 1
Why it may matter: Vent works only as well as the damper position and joints allow; grease can collect at taped joints over time.
Ask the manager: Confirm the damper is open and where the duct ends.
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Cabinet above the microwave is taken up by the duct and receptacle
The duct, its damper, the armored cable and the receptacle fill the cabinet above the microwave.
Observed in the recordingTour reference 1
Why it may matter: One fewer usable upper cabinet in an already small kitchen.
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Light finish wear on cabinet edges and paint drips inside the cabinet above the microwave
Pale nicks show on some door edges and the bottom rail of an upper; the floor of the cabinet above the microwave has paint drips and smears.

Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Ribbed flexible plastic trap under the disposal
A white corrugated flexible section forms the trap below the disposal outlet instead of a smooth rigid trap.
Observed in the recording. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1
Why it may matter: Corrugated traps snag food waste from the disposal and clog more often; many codes require smooth wall traps.
Ask the manager: Can maintenance replace the flexible trap with a standard rigid P trap?
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Painted wall behind the range and sink instead of tile
Only a 4 in counter splash protects the wall; paint continues up behind the range to the microwave.

Recorded finding · Inference
Cook's view: compact L shaped all electric kitchen with a coil range, low airflow vent, no dishwasher
The plan shows a 9 by 7 ft kitchen. Cooking is on a basic Hotpoint four coil electric range with a standard clean oven; ventilation is an over the range microwave (about 200 CFM on the likely model) ducted through a damper. Counter runs beside the range are short, the best prep surface is over the washer and the overhang. There is a large single bowl Kraus sink with a pull down faucet and a Badger 5 disposal, but no dishwasher, so every pan is hand washed. Storage includes a four drawer bank; the cabinet above the microwave is lost to ductwork. Fridge is a 2009 16.6 cu ft top freezer with a 4.1 cu ft freezer and no icemaker. A fire extinguisher is mounted in the sink base.
InferenceTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4 · Tour reference 5 · Tour reference 6 · Tour reference 7 · Tour reference 8
Why it may matter: Fine for simple daily cooking for one or two; frustrating for serious cooks who sear, wok cook, batch cook or entertain.
Ask the manager: Could a dishwasher or portable dishwasher be accommodated?

Floor plan sheet labels the kitchen 9'x7'
The Marc floor plan handout for the 675 sq ft one bedroom shows Kitchen 9'x7' beside the Dining Area and Foyer.
Read in the sourceTour reference 1
Why it may matter: A small working kitchen; one cook at a time.
Recorded finding · Inference
Stainless steel appliances claim: silver metallic or stainless look Hotpoint units with black cooktop and handles
The amenities page lists stainless steel appliances in select homes. Here the refrigerator, range and microwave show silver or stainless look fronts with black trim; the likely Hotpoint models are sold as silver metallic rather than stainless steel.
Inference. Recorded confidence 50%Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2
Why it may matter: Looks stainless from a distance; not a premium stainless suite.
Ask the manager: Are the appliance fronts real stainless steel?
Recorded finding · Inference
Countertops match the white quartz option rather than granite (material unverified)
Listings say granite or white quartz in select homes. Counters here are uniform white with no stone pattern.
Inference. Recorded confidence 50%Tour reference 1
Why it may matter: Consistent with the white quartz claim; ask to confirm.
Ask the manager: Are these quartz?
Recorded finding · Observed in the recording
Fire extinguisher provided in the sink base
Red extinguisher mounted on a bracket inside the sink base, two steps from the range.
Observed in the recordingTour reference 1The stored frame check does not independently establish this detail. Confirm before relying on it.
Why it may matter: Good for stovetop flare ups; check the gauge.
Ask the manager: When was it last inspected?
Recorded finding · Inference
Kitchen reachable from the foyer and the dining side
A cased opening right beside the entry door leads into the kitchen, and a second opening by the bar ledge connects to the dining area.
Inference. Recorded confidence 55%Tour reference 1
Why it may matter: Groceries go straight from the door to the fridge; cooking smells reach the foyer directly.

Internet is a resident arranged Xfinity or AT&T service through what appears to be a coax outlet high on the kitchen end wall; no Ethernet or managed Wi Fi was seen. The living area has the only AC (a PTAC whose cycling is audible), and the washer dryer runs in the open kitchen.

Listing checks (26)
Listing claim excerpt: “All apartment homes will include the following appliances: refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher & stove.”
Contradicted by the tour. Every base cabinet position in the kitchen was opened or shown. There is no dishwasher; the 24 in slot beside the sink holds an LG washer dryer.
Dishes are washed by hand in a single bowl sink. The amenities page, RentCafe, ApartmentList and Knock also list a dishwasher.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Tour reference 4Listing claim excerpt: “Our community offers on site laundry facilities on each floor. Select apartment homes have in unit laundry.”
Supported. Apartment 704 has a near new LG all in one washer and ventless dryer (likely WM3555HVA) under the kitchen counter. The floor laundry rooms were not filmed.
An all in one combo washes and dries in one drum: long cycles and smaller dry loads, and it runs in the open kitchen next to the living room.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “washer and dryer are not in unit but on every floor”
Contradicted by the tour. This apartment has in unit laundry.
True for many units, not for 704. The Zillow snippet also says shared laundry only.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Yes, each apartment comes equipped with AC/heat.”
Partly supported. One Amana through wall heat and cool unit (PTAC) in the living room corner. The bedroom has only a recessed wall heater with a dial thermostat; nothing cools the bedroom.
The bedroom sits behind a door, away from the only air conditioner, and its glass wall gets early morning sun.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “HVAC wall unit”
Supported. An Amana PTAC with a 7 button DigiSmart control, its outdoor louver box on the balcony.
PTACs are louder than central air because the compressor sits in the room.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Open concept floor plans boast desirable features like floor to ceiling windows, and a private patio or balcony.”
Supported. Floor to ceiling aluminum glass across the whole outer wall of both the living room and the bedroom, opening onto a covered balcony about 27 ft long.
The balcony is only about 4 to 5 ft deep, with gaps to the neighbors at the end screens. The glass faces northeast: morning sun only.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Nine foot ceilings and expansive windows create a welcoming bright and airy atmosphere.”
Supported. Wall proportions in the bedroom frames suggest about 9 to 9.5 ft ceilings. No measurement was taken.
FurnishedHousing says 9.5 ft. The bedroom ceiling has a popcorn style texture.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Stainless Steel Appliances* (*In Select Homes)”
Partly supported. A 2009 Hotpoint top freezer refrigerator with stainless look doors and black handles, and a matching silver Hotpoint coil range and over the range microwave.
Stainless look entry level appliances, not true stainless. The refrigerator is about 17 years old.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “and modern stainless steel appliances.”
Misleading. The refrigerator label dates it to January 2009, past the usual 9 to 13 year life; the range and microwave look like the same era.
Only the washer dryer is recent. Ask whether the 2009 appliances will be replaced.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Granite or White Quartz Countertops* (*In Select Homes)”
Partly supported. White solid counters with a square edge and a matching 4 in backsplash in the kitchen, and a matching quartz look top on the bathroom vanity.
Looks like the white quartz option; the material was not confirmed. The wall behind the range and sink is painted, not tiled.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Newly Renovated Interior* (select apartments)”
Partly supported. Fresh plank vinyl floors, new bedroom carpet, fresh paint, espresso shaker cabinets, a new vanity with a Kohler sink, and a square rain shower head; but the 2009 appliances, an older acrylic knob tub valve and an older stepped tank toilet remain.
A cosmetic renovation; the expensive parts (appliances, tub valve, toilet, windows) were mostly kept.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “Air Conditioning, Carpet, Dishwasher, Garbage Disposal, Microwave, Patio / Balcony, Stainless Steel, Extra Storage, Walk In Closets, Granite Counters”
Partly supported. Carpet only in the bedroom; plank vinyl everywhere else. No dishwasher. Disposal, microwave, balcony and walk in closet are present.
This one feature list is wrong on two counts for 704: no dishwasher and mostly hard floors.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “No, ceiling fans are not available within your apartment.”
Supported. No ceiling fan, and no ceiling light at all, in the living room, dining area or bedroom.
PadMapper lists a ceiling fan, which is wrong. Without ceiling lights, plan on floor and table lamps.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Large Spacious Closets”
Supported. A shelved entry closet, a hall coat closet with a rod, a linen closet in the bathroom and a long walk in closet.
Building pipes run across the top of the entry closet, and the walk in closet light is a bare bulb close to the shelf.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3Listing claim excerpt: “High Speed Internet Access”
Not verified on the tour. The only data outlet seen is a single port plate, probably coax, high on the kitchen end wall. No Ethernet jacks and no building Wi Fi equipment in the apartment.
Renters set up and pay for Xfinity or AT&T themselves; ask which ports are live and whether fiber reaches the building.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Garbage Disposal”
Supported. An InSinkErator Badger 5, 1/2 HP, under the sink.
A basic model; a ribbed flexible plastic trap is fitted below it.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Built In Microwave”
Supported. A Hotpoint over the range microwave, ducted through the cabinet above with foil taped joints.
It is the only range hood, with modest airflow.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Valet Trash Services”
Supported. The leasing agent said the building does valet trash; bagged trash sat outside several doors in the corridor at 3:43 pm, and a logo bin was in the kitchen.
Bags in the hallway for hours are part of how valet trash works here.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Renovated Hallways”
Supported. The 7th floor corridor has carpet tiles, pilasters, sconces and fresh paint; one carpet tile has a dark stain.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “Gated Electronic Entrance”
Not verified on the tour. The building entry, lobby and elevators were not filmed. The apartment door uses mechanical keys only.
Safebutler's summary says there is no controlled access. Ask how the front door and garage are secured.
Listing claim excerpt: “Heated Swimming Pool Open Year Round; Fitness Center; Yoga & Meditation Studio; Dry Sauna Room; Clubhouse & Lobby w/ Wi Fi Service”
Not verified on the tour. No amenity was toured.
Listing claim excerpt: “Plan A: 1 Bed, 1 Bath, 675 sq. ft.”
Supported. Apartment 704 matches the 675 sq ft one bedroom handout plan (not mirrored), with a few openings drawn differently.
The handout says square footages are approximate.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Unit 0704, Plan A, 675 sq ft, $5,544/month, available now”
Not verified on the tour. The tour handout has blank rent and deposit lines.
Three sites list 704 at three prices the same week ($5,514 to $6,409 on RentCafe, $5,544 on ApartmentList, $5,579 on Brightplace). Get a written quote for the lease length you want.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “View* (select apartments)”
Partly supported. From the 7th floor: treetops over two storey roofs, with a lawn and a pergola carport parking lot directly below. No hills, skyline or Stanford.
An open, private outlook rather than a scenic view.
Tour reference 1 · Tour reference 2Listing claim excerpt: “This community is professionally managed by Willow Bridge Property Company”
Partly supported. The floor plan handout still prints an FPI Management email address.
Old collateral from the previous manager; confirm who signs the lease and where maintenance requests go.
Tour reference 1Listing claim excerpt: “Window Cover”
Supported. Light roller shades with a valance in the living room and dark roller shades in the bedroom.
The shades use loop bead chains.
