More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1975, this property has undergone a 'completely remodeled' and 'thoughtfully reimagined' renovation, as stated in the description and clearly evidenced by the images. The kitchen features all-new stainless steel appliances, a six-burner stove, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stylish deep green tile backsplash, and a wine fridge, all presenting a modern and high-end aesthetic. Bathrooms are equally impressive with new vanities, modern fixtures, a freestanding tub, and walk-in showers. Flooring is consistent wood-look vinyl throughout, and lighting fixtures are contemporary. The overall condition reflects a property that is virtually new inside, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The significant monthly association fee of $1,146 adds a substantial recurring cost to ownership, which could deter some buyers or impact affordability.
Building Age (1975): Despite extensive remodeling, the property's original construction year (1975) suggests potential for older underlying infrastructure or common area components that may require future maintenance or special assessments.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a comfort concern for some buyers during warmer periods, even with ocean breezes.
