More Insights

Built in 2002 (24 years old).
Condition: Built in 2002, this home has undergone extensive and high-quality recent renovations, bringing its condition to virtually new standards. The modern kitchen features new cabinets, quartz countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances. 'Signature bamboo flooring' runs throughout, and 'new windows' have been installed. Bathrooms have been updated with new vanities and toilets. The property also boasts a fully paid-off solar system, a water softener, and a beautifully upgraded backyard. While the original build year is 2002, the comprehensive and recent updates to all major aesthetic and functional components, including the kitchen and bathrooms, align perfectly with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' and 'all components are new or virtually new' criteria for an 'Excellent' rating. The only minor consideration is the noted absence of central air conditioning, which is a functional aspect rather than a condition issue, and does not detract from the excellent state of the renovated property.

Monthly HOA Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $240, which is an ongoing cost that buyers must factor into their budget in addition to mortgage payments and property taxes.
