Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1963, this property shows significant age with minimal to no major renovations in key areas. The kitchen features very dated white cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and older white appliances, along with fluorescent panel lighting. The bathrooms are similarly outdated with old vanities, laminate countertops, patterned linoleum flooring, and fluorescent lighting. While the property appears functional, these critical areas require substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current standards and comfort levels. The overall condition suggests a lack of significant updates for several decades, aligning with the 'Poor' category's criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with renovations 30-50 years ago, or requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
55+ Community Appeal: The property is located in a 55+ neighborhood, catering to a specific demographic seeking age-restricted living, often implying a quiet and well-maintained environment.
Favorable Financials: Benefits from a 'Low tax rate' and minimal 'Special Assessments' ($487.20/year), significantly reducing ongoing ownership costs.
Convenient & Quiet Location: Situated on a corner lot in a 'very private and quiet area,' with excellent proximity to 'Shopping, parks, church.'
Recent Price Reduction: A significant price adjustment from $325,000 to $295,000 indicates increased value for potential buyers and a more competitive offering.
Flexible Living Space: Includes an 'extra room in the back that makes the home a little bigger,' offering versatile additional functional space beyond the two bedrooms.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1963, the home is over 60 years old, which may suggest outdated systems, finishes, or the potential need for future renovations and maintenance.
Limited Buyer Pool: Being in a '55+ Neighborhood' restricts the market to a specific age demographic, potentially impacting resale velocity and broad market appeal.
Lack of Renovation Details: The description does not mention any recent updates or renovations, which for a 1963 home, could imply it's in original condition and may require buyer investment for modernization.
