Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1995, has received recent cosmetic updates including new carpet, paint, blinds, and a new refrigerator, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated honey oak cabinets, older countertops, and a mix of appliance ages (new fridge, newer microwave/dishwasher, older range). The bathroom also shows signs of age with an older vanity, light fixture, and tile work. The presence of a window AC unit suggests a lack of central air conditioning. While functional and clean, the property requires minor updates to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms to current standards.
Pros & Cons

Move-in Ready Condition: The unit has been recently refreshed with new carpet, paint, blinds, and a new refrigerator, offering a super clean and move-in ready aesthetic for immediate occupancy.

Private Outdoor Space: Includes an exclusive use patio, offering a valuable private outdoor area for relaxation or entertaining.
Dedicated Parking: A dedicated parking spot is included, providing essential convenience and peace of mind for vehicle owners.
Cons
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $423 is relatively high for an 880 sqft unit, adding a significant ongoing cost to homeownership.
Compact Living Space: With 880 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the unit offers a compact living space that may feel restrictive for some buyers or families.
Upstairs Unit Accessibility: As an upstairs unit, it may present accessibility challenges for individuals with mobility issues or for moving large items, especially if the community lacks an elevator.
