Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with several key updates. The kitchen has been modernized with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the flooring and paint appear well-maintained throughout. While the bathroom vanities and some light fixtures reflect an older style consistent with the 1985 build date, the overall unit shows no signs of deferred maintenance and benefits from recent partial renovations.
Elementary School: Dixie Elementary School (9/10).
Located in the prestigious Villa Marin community, the property offers an all-inclusive lifestyle with daily meals, housekeeping, 24-hour security, and priority access to on-site skilled nursing and assisted living.
The residence features a tastefully updated kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by a renovated ensuite bathroom, ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
The monthly HOA fee of $5,804 is exceptionally high, which may limit the pool of qualified buyers to those with significant monthly cash flow despite the inclusive services.
Strict age requirements (60+) and the specific nature of a continuing care retirement community limit the property's appeal to a niche market and restrict its potential as a traditional investment or multi-generational home.
