More Insights

Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, is well-maintained and move-in ready with a freshly painted interior and plantation shutters. However, the kitchen features dated cabinets, countertops, and tile flooring, despite some updated stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom also shows signs of age with older vanity styles and carpet flooring, indicating that while the home has seen regular upkeep, it has not undergone a full, extensive renovation within the last 15 years to meet current quality standards. It requires minor updates to modernize key areas.

Attached Dwelling (Twinhome): As a twinhome, the property shares a wall with an adjacent unit, which may not appeal to buyers specifically seeking a fully detached single-family residence.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $305, while covering extensive amenities, represents a substantial recurring cost that could impact a buyer's budget and long-term ownership expenses.
