More Insights
Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1989, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations. The primary bathroom is explicitly described as 'newly remodeled' and features modern finishes like a soaking tub, dual vanity, and a spacious walk-in shower with contemporary tiling. The kitchen is 'updated' with white shaker-style cabinets, modern hardware, light countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Rich hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and central air/heat throughout the main living areas and bedrooms contribute to a virtually new and modern aesthetic. The overall condition reflects minimal physical depreciation and meets current quality standards, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 years.

Cons
Tandem Parking: While parking is provided in a gated garage, the tandem configuration can be less convenient for daily use, especially for households with multiple vehicles or frequent guest parking needs.
Monthly Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $550.86 is a significant recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
