Cons
Community Living & HOA Restrictions: While HOA dues are low and include amenities, some buyers may prefer properties without an HOA or the potential restrictions associated with community living.
Modest Lot Size: The 5600 sqft lot size, while private, may be considered modest for a detached home, potentially limiting extensive outdoor expansion or larger garden aspirations for some buyers.
Age of Core Systems: Despite extensive cosmetic and functional upgrades, the 1988 build year means some underlying core systems (e.g., original plumbing lines, electrical wiring not part of lighting upgrades) may be older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
