Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1975, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features a brand-new HVAC system (<1 year old), fresh interior paint, and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances. While the bathrooms and kitchen cabinetry retain some dated aesthetic elements (such as 1970s-era peach wall tile), the overall condition is functional and clean with no immediate maintenance required.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Floor Plan
The home features a rare downstairs bedroom and half bath, providing excellent accessibility and flexibility for guests, seniors, or a home office.
- Recent Capital Improvements
Significant value is added by a brand-new HVAC system installed less than a year ago and fresh interior paint, reducing immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
- Premium Community Amenities
Residents benefit from resort-style living through the Nepenthe HOA, which includes access to pools, tennis courts, and a fitness center in a highly desirable 'urban forest' setting.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Low Available Lot Utilization
The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2178, living area = 1547.
- High Monthly Carrying Costs
The $700 monthly association fee is substantial and may impact overall affordability or debt-to-income ratios for prospective buyers.
