More Insights

Built in 1993 (32 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1993, benefits from extensive recent upgrades including newer A/C, furnace, water heater, water softener, solar, new carpet, marble floors, and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. Major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while clean and well-maintained, feature dated medium oak cabinetry, older style countertops, and fixtures, which prevent an 'Excellent' rating as they do not meet current aesthetic quality standards.

Kitchen Cabinetry Style: The kitchen features 'medium Oak Cabinets,' which, despite other upgrades like designer tile and a center island, may be perceived as dated by some buyers seeking a fully contemporary aesthetic.
Ongoing Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $320, which adds to the recurring cost of homeownership.
Age of Original Construction: While extensively updated, the home's original construction year of 1993 means some underlying components or design elements may eventually require attention beyond the recent upgrades.
