Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained with functional systems and attractive outdoor amenities like a pool, spa, and Trex decking. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, which are functional but the cabinet style and granite pattern appear dated. The bathrooms, however, are significantly outdated in terms of fixtures, tile, and vanity styles, requiring substantial renovation to meet modern aesthetic standards. While livable, the interior finishes throughout the home, including some flooring and lighting, show clear signs of age and would require minor to moderate updates to align with contemporary tastes, as also noted in the 'Potential for Modernization' weakness.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 50529, living area = 5467.
