More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property has seen significant recent functional updates including a newer HVAC system and roof (approx. 3 years old), and new vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint within the last year. These updates are excellent for a home of this age. However, the kitchen features very dated appliances (built-in oven/cooktop appear original or from the 70s/80s), laminate countertops, and older cabinets, despite the addition of pull-out shelves. The bathrooms also show very dated vanities, fixtures, and lighting. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready from a structural and system standpoint, the highly outdated kitchen and bathrooms would likely require substantial cosmetic and appliance renovations for most buyers, aligning it with a 'Fair' condition score.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Active 55+ Community: Located in the Sun City Civic Association with a very low annual HOA ($435), offering a vibrant lifestyle with walkable access to a pool, events, pickleball, and clubs.
Significant Recent Upgrades: Major components like the HVAC system and roof are approximately 3 years old, providing peace of mind and reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Modernized Interiors: Features newer vinyl plank flooring throughout (some as recent as 6 months old) and custom kitchen pull-out shelves, enhancing aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Convenient Walkability: Strategically located within walking distance to essential amenities, including a grocery store, promoting an independent and accessible lifestyle.
Practical Storage & Low Costs: Includes a large workshop in the garage, a newer storage shed in the rear yard, and benefits from low property taxes, adding value and utility.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1971, the property is over 50 years old, which may imply older infrastructure not explicitly updated, potentially leading to future maintenance needs.
Limited Market Appeal (55+): The age-restricted community significantly narrows the potential buyer pool, which can impact market velocity and appreciation compared to unrestricted properties.
Compact Living Space: With 1350 sqft, the home offers a smaller footprint, which might be a limitation for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or additional rooms.
