More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1955, the property underwent extensive renovations in 2023, including new flooring, paint (interior and exterior), plumbing, and light fixtures. The kitchen, as seen in the images, features modern grey marble-look countertops and backsplash, a new stainless steel sink with a contemporary faucet, and updated wood-look laminate flooring. While the kitchen ceiling is a grid style and the dishwasher is black, the overall updates are significant and recent, making the property move-in ready with virtually new key components. This aligns with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an excellent score, indicating minimal deferred maintenance and a high quality of recent improvements.

Spacious Family Room: Includes a large family room with a fireplace, offering a comfortable gathering space that overlooks the patio and pool area.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6480, other record lot size in square feet = 6534.
Limited Buyer Access: The 'No showings' policy is a significant barrier, preventing potential buyers from physically inspecting the property and assessing its condition, severely limiting marketability.
Complex Short Sale Process: Being a 'Short Sale' implies a potentially lengthy and complicated transaction, requiring lender approval and often leading to extended closing periods and uncertainty for buyers.
As-Is Sale with Inherited Risk: The property is 'Sold as is,' meaning the buyer assumes all responsibility for repairs and potential issues, which is compounded by the inability to conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection due to the 'no showings' policy.
