Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the property is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen features original oak cabinetry and tile countertops, and the bathrooms show older fixtures and vanities. While the listing states it is move-in ready, the age of the home and the lack of recent major renovations to the primary systems and interior finishes place it in the fair category, requiring cosmetic updates.
The Arbor Palms community provides residents with a pool, basketball court, walking paths, and inclusive security and exterior maintenance, offering a high-value, low-maintenance lifestyle.
Marketed as move-in ready, this home allows buyers to avoid the immediate costs and stress of renovations, making it an attractive option for those seeking a seamless transition.
The 1,408 sqft floor plan is well-designed with separate family and receiving rooms, providing a spacious and organized living environment that maximizes the available square footage.
With a lot size of just 2,005 square feet, the private backyard area is quite compact, which may be a limitation for buyers who prioritize large outdoor entertaining or gardening areas.
The assigned middle school carries a lower rating of 3/10, which could be a significant consideration for families focused on academic performance and may impact future appreciation.
