More Insights

Built in 1982 (44 years old).

Condition: The property, built in 1982, is undergoing a 'glow-up' with a new roof, fresh paint, new laminate flooring in main areas, and a recently renovated half-bath. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances but retains dated dark wood cabinets and an old fluorescent light fixture. Crucially, the two full bathrooms are significantly outdated with 80s/90s style fixtures, tiles, and mirrored walls. Furthermore, major system upgrades like HVAC, electrical panel, windows, and doors are explicitly stated as 'additional improvements will include,' indicating they are not yet completed. While many positive updates are underway or completed, the dated full bathrooms and pending major system replacements mean it's not fully move-in ready without further renovation, placing it in the 'Fair' category.

Private Outdoor Space: Includes a private backyard area, perfect for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, container gardening, or relaxing with pets.

Secure 2-Car Garage: A direct-access 2-car garage provides secure parking and valuable additional storage space.

Cons

Significant Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $575.26 represents a substantial recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
