More Insights
Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1966, has received several cosmetic updates including new flooring, paint, windows, and sliding doors, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features traditional wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, and white appliances, which, despite being 'upgraded' according to the description, appear aesthetically dated, likely from a renovation 15-30 years ago. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional but feature basic vanities and tiling that also suggest an older update. Popcorn ceilings are present. While well-maintained, the property shows signs of being aged with functional but outdated major components, indicating it would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1203, other record living area = 1150.
Townhome Structure in High-Value Area: As an 'entry level' townhome in a neighborhood of 'multi-million-dollar homes,' it may not offer the same level of space, privacy, or long-term appreciation potential as detached single-family residences in the immediate vicinity.
Recurring Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $350 adds to the overall cost of ownership, which can be a significant recurring expense for buyers.
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1966, despite recent cosmetic upgrades, the underlying systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future investment. The description does not explicitly mention a cooling system.
