More Insights
Built in 1963 (62 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1963, has received significant functional updates such as a 2-year-old A/C unit, fully paid solar panels, and dual-pane windows, indicating good maintenance of major systems. However, the kitchen features dated cream-colored cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances (dishwasher visible), and a very dated fluorescent ceiling light panel. Both bathrooms also show dated vanities, light fixtures, and tile surrounds. While clean and functional, these key areas require aesthetic updates to meet current standards. The flooring (laminate/hardwood and carpet) appears well-maintained but some styles are also dated. Overall, the home is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1963, the property is over 60 years old, which may imply potential for older infrastructure or require ongoing maintenance typical of vintage homes, despite recent upgrades.
Age-Restricted Community: Being part of a 55+ senior community significantly narrows the potential buyer demographic, which could impact marketability and resale liquidity.
Limited Lot Size: The 4,356 sqft lot is relatively small, offering minimal outdoor space beyond the low-maintenance decorative rock landscaping, which may not appeal to buyers desiring larger yards.
