Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2005, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, aligning with the 'Good' category's age criteria (10-20 years old). The kitchen features desirable stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and hardwood flooring, all in good condition. While the light wood cabinetry and island design reflect an early 2000s aesthetic, they are fully functional and do not require immediate renovation. Bathrooms, such as the downstairs full bath, also show well-maintained fixtures, though some tile patterns and vanity styles are consistent with the home's original build year and may be considered dated by some. Significant system upgrades like the PEX repipe in 2017 further contribute to its 'Good' condition, indicating proactive maintenance. The property's major systems are functional and show minimal wear and tear, making it comfortable for immediate occupancy without necessary updates.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3183, other record living area = 3143. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Lot Size for Home Scale: While offering premium outdoor features, the 6,239 sqft lot size is relatively modest for a 3,183 sqft home in a luxury community, potentially limiting expansive yard space.
Monthly Association Fee: The $330 monthly association fee, while providing guard-gated security and community amenities, represents a significant recurring cost that could impact affordability for some buyers.
Specific Interior Finishes: Elements like the 'Beveled Lead and Glass Entry Door' and 'River Rock Fireplace' suggest a particular aesthetic from its 2005 build, which might not align with all contemporary design preferences, potentially requiring updates for some buyers.
