This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $415,000—positioned well above the $246,549 Fair Market Value by -68%. Featuring a Poor Condition Rating due to its 1988 build and dated interior, the unit requires a full cosmetic rehab. While the Indoor Heated Pool, Gym, and EV Level 2 Hookup offer unique lifestyle perks, the $7,290 monthly HOA fee and age-restricted retirement community status significantly limit the buyer pool. This asset is best suited for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Retirees seeking specific community amenities.
