Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, this property has seen updates, including an 'updated kitchen' and 'updated windows & sliding doors'. However, the kitchen features wood cabinets, white appliances, and laminate countertops, while the bathrooms have older-style vanities and brass fixtures, suggesting renovations that are likely 15-30 years old rather than recent. The home is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the aesthetic of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms is outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. Major underlying systems may also be older due to the original build year.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Location & Privacy
This rare end unit is ideally situated next to a single-family neighborhood and directly across from Len Hester Park, offering enhanced privacy and direct access to green space. A greenbelt further separates the unit from the street.
- Extensive Updates & Designer Touches
The property boasts an updated kitchen, updated windows and sliding doors (excluding the entry door), custom shutters, an upgraded stairway bannister, and built-in cabinetry throughout, presenting a well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing interior.
- Desirable Outdoor Living Spaces
Multiple outdoor areas include a welcoming front courtyard entry, a private backyard and patio, and a generous upstairs balcony, providing ample opportunities for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Association Fee
A monthly association fee of $520 is substantial and could significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and affordability for potential buyers.
- Older Construction & Potential System Age
Built in 1964, the property is over 50 years old. While cosmetic updates are evident, major underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may still be original or require significant future investment if not explicitly updated.
- Modest Living Space & Limited Private Outdoor Area
With 1184 sqft, the living space may be considered modest for some buyers. The 954 sqft lot size, while typical for a townhouse, offers limited private outdoor space compared to single-family homes.
