Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready with fresh paint, but it lacks a full modern renovation. The kitchen features older white appliances and dated cabinetry, and the 1.5-bathroom configuration reflects the original era of construction. While the home is functional and clean, the styles of the fixtures and finishes are aged, fitting the 'fair' criteria for a property over 40 years old with only minor cosmetic updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Parking and Storage
The property includes two dedicated parking spaces, including a carport with integrated storage, providing significant value and convenience rarely found in similar condo units.
- In-Unit Amenities
Equipped with in-unit laundry and a private patio, this home offers essential modern conveniences that enhance daily living and appeal to both first-time buyers and investors.
- Move-In Ready Condition
The interior has been freshly painted and features a functional layout, allowing for an immediate move-in while benefiting from community perks like the pool and spa.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- School District Ratings
The assigned middle and high schools have lower performance ratings (3/10), which may be a concern for families prioritizing educational rankings.
- Bathroom Configuration
With only one full bathroom serving two bedrooms, the 1.5-bath layout may present a challenge for multi-occupant households compared to units with two full baths.
