Built in 1984, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated in key areas. The kitchen features original or very dated oak cabinets, white tile backsplash, white countertops, and a dated fluorescent ceiling light panel. Bathrooms also present with small white tiles, gold-tone fixtures, and dated wallpaper/vanities. While some areas like the living/dining room have been updated with modern light fixtures and hardwood floors, and the decks were recently replaced, the core elements of the kitchen and bathrooms require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards.

High Monthly HOA Dues: The substantial monthly association fee of $517, despite the seller's initial contribution, represents a significant ongoing cost.
Limited Dedicated Bedrooms: For a 3071 sqft home, the property offers only two dedicated bedrooms, which may not suit larger families or those requiring more private sleeping quarters.
Small Lot Size: The 2,614 sqft lot is relatively small for a home of this square footage, potentially limiting private outdoor living space.
