Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready with several recent cosmetic updates, including new wood plank flooring throughout and fresh interior paint. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated cabinet doors. While the 1987 construction is evident in some areas like the mirrored dining wall, the overall maintenance and recent improvements to the interior and the exterior vinyl fencing qualify it for a good condition rating.
The condo features extensive recent improvements, including wood plank flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and a remodeled kitchen with newer appliances included, offering a move-in-ready experience for the buyer.
A rare ground-level courtyard enclosed by newer vinyl fencing provides a private, lush outdoor retreat with flexible landscaping options, significantly extending the functional living space.
The property includes a garage located just steps from the front door, featuring custom built-in shelving that effectively addresses the typical storage limitations of condominium living.
With only 642 square feet of living space, the unit's small footprint may feel restrictive and limits the property's appeal to a narrower demographic of buyers.
The monthly HOA fee of $478 is relatively high for a one-bedroom unit of this size, which may impact the debt-to-income ratio for first-time buyers and increase long-term carrying costs.

As you enter the front yard portion you are impressed by the number of plants and trees that are thriving in the court yard all large boxes that can be easily moved around with a hand truck, thereby giving the new owner many options regarding which plants and where to locate them.

The garage is just a few steps from the front door and it has some shelves that the owner has built in for storage as well as the standard garage door opener.
