Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996, this 30-year-old property features functional but dated interiors. The kitchen and bathrooms retain older cabinetry and tile work consistent with the original construction or an aged renovation. While systems like central AC are present and the unit is move-in ready, it requires cosmetic updates to meet modern 'Good' or 'Excellent' standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Significant Seller Incentives
The seller is offering to cover the first five months of HOA fees and including most furniture in the sale, providing substantial upfront value and reducing immediate move-in costs.
- Spacious Layout and Premium Parking
With 1,421 sq. ft. of living space and a rare 2-car side-by-side garage, this unit offers a level of size and parking convenience seldom found in downtown condominium living.
- Modern Climate Comforts
The inclusion of central air conditioning, forced air heating, and a gas-burning fireplace ensures a comfortable and cozy living environment throughout the year.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Monthly Carrying Costs
The monthly HOA fee of $1,083 is notably high, which may impact buyer affordability and long-term carrying costs despite the initial seller credit.
- Underwhelming School Ratings
The property is served by schools with lower to average ratings, specifically a 3/10 for the middle school, which may be a concern for education-focused families.
