Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1974, the property has been well-maintained with significant recent updates that make it move-in ready. It features a brand new HVAC system (2023), updated laminate flooring in the main living areas, and modernized bathrooms with a contemporary live-edge vanity and newer shower surround. While the kitchen appliances and some bedroom carpeting appear older, the major systems and partial renovations align with the 'Good' criteria.
The property features a newer (2023) high-capacity air conditioning and heating system, offering significant value and peace of mind regarding future maintenance costs.
Large glass patio doors provide an abundance of natural light and lead to an expansive extended deck, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience.
The 1,170 sq. ft. one-level floor plan is highly accessible and includes desirable in-unit washer/dryer hookups and generous closet space in both bedrooms.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1170, other record living area = 1324.
The monthly HOA fee of $540 is relatively high for this price point, which may impact the overall monthly affordability for first-time buyers.
Multiple price reductions from the original $499,000 list price suggest the property may have been initially overvalued or is facing challenges with current market demand.
