Despite being built in 1973, this townhome has undergone significant and recent updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features sleek quartz countertops, a new GE stainless steel gas range, and a Bosch dishwasher, though the cabinets retain an older style. The primary bathroom has been remodeled to a modern standard, and the A/C unit is newer (5 years old). Other improvements include dual-pane windows, fresh interior paint, and SPC plank flooring upstairs. While the half bathroom and kitchen cabinets are dated, the major systems and key areas have been updated within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for extensively renovated properties.

Cons

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 = 1600, living area = 1359.
Limited Full Bathrooms: The property offers only 1.5 bathrooms for a 3-bedroom unit, with the primary suite containing the sole full remodeled bathroom, which may be inconvenient for families or multiple occupants.
High Homeowners Association Dues: The association fee of $599.0 per month is a significant recurring cost that adds to the overall expense of homeownership.
Age of Building Structure: Built in 1973, the underlying structure is over 50 years old, which, despite recent cosmetic and system updates, may raise concerns about older, non-updated components or potential future maintenance requirements.
