Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and shows pride of ownership with significant updates. While built in 1986, the home features 'beautifully updated' en-suite bathrooms and a kitchen equipped with modern stainless steel appliances. The inclusion of plantation shutters, skylights, and well-maintained flooring indicates the property has been renovated or refreshed within the last 5 to 15 years, fitting the criteria for a high-quality, well-maintained residence that does not require immediate work.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Superior Privacy

    As a carriage-style end unit in a corner location with no neighbors looking in and no garage directly beneath the living area, this home offers exceptional seclusion rare for condo living.

  • Dual Primary Suites

    The floor plan features two generously sized primary suites with beautifully updated en-suite bathrooms, providing ideal functionality for roommates, guests, or multi-generational living.

  • Exceptional Parking

    Rare for the community, this unit includes a direct-access attached garage plus a full tandem driveway, offering ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Tandem Parking Logistics

    While the driveway is a benefit, the tandem configuration requires coordinating vehicle movement, which can be a daily inconvenience for households with multiple commuters.

  • Property Age

    Built in 1986, the property and its underlying systems are nearly 40 years old, which may necessitate more frequent maintenance or future capital improvements compared to newer builds.

  • Monthly HOA Dues

    The $440 monthly association fee represents a significant recurring carrying cost that buyers must factor into their overall monthly debt-to-income affordability.
