Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but it fits the 'fair' criteria due to its 1985 construction and lack of a recent comprehensive renovation. While it features updated wood-effect flooring and a stainless steel refrigerator, other elements remain dated, including the fluorescent kitchen light box, laminate countertops, and the integrated fiberglass tub/shower surround. The unit shows regular upkeep but retains the stylistic features of a home renovated or built 20-40 years ago.
Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
As part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), the property provides an all-inclusive lifestyle featuring on-site skilled nursing, assisted living, daily meals, and weekly housekeeping.
The unit's ground-floor location offers convenient entry and exit, paired with a private corner balcony that provides serene, verdant views of the surrounding hills and landscaping.
The monthly HOA fee of $4,750 is exceptionally high, which may be a significant financial burden despite the low initial purchase price.
Strict age requirements (60+) and the CCRC structure limit the potential buyer pool to a specific demographic, which can impact future resale flexibility.
