More Insights
Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1972, is aged but well-maintained with recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new carpet, and recently replaced kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and bathroom vanity, lighting, and tile styles are dated. The heating and cooling systems (wall-mounted AC, baseboard heating) are also older, indicating that while functional, major components show signs of being outdated and would likely require aesthetic updates for a modern buyer.

Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of shared facilities including a clubhouse, pool, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room, guest parking, and an indoor storage locker, enhancing lifestyle and value.

Cons
Compact Size: The 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 665 sqft layout is relatively small, limiting its appeal primarily to singles or couples and not suitable for those requiring more living space.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $554.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
Appliance Installation Date Discrepancy: The listing states new kitchen appliances (refrigerator and stove) were installed in 'Nov. 2025,' which is a future date, creating confusion about the current condition and accuracy of the listing.
