Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and features significant functional upgrades such as central air and heat, dual-pane windows, and laminate flooring. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are stylistically outdated, featuring dark wood cabinetry and older appliances consistent with a renovation from several decades ago. While move-in ready and expanded, the overall aesthetic and fixtures show signs of age and do not meet current modern quality standards.
Residents have access to an unparalleled array of facilities including a 9-hole golf course, new swimming pool, gym, and over 200 social clubs within the active 55+ community.
This fully expanded corner unit offers a private entrance and a prime greenbelt location, providing significantly more living space and privacy than standard models.
The interior is exceptionally bright and airy, featuring five skylights and four dual-pane windows that maximize natural illumination throughout the home.
The stock cooperative structure requires an all-cash purchase, which limits the buyer pool to those without the need for traditional mortgage financing.
Buyers are subject to a significant one-time Golden Rain Foundation membership fee of $7,000 per person in addition to the purchase price.
While the unit is well-maintained and updated, the original 1962 construction may present long-term maintenance challenges common to older buildings.
