Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, this property is functional but dated. While the kitchen has been partially updated with granite countertops, the cabinetry and white appliances are older styles. The unit lacks central HVAC (using a wall AC unit instead) and retains popcorn ceilings, indicating it has not had a comprehensive renovation in the last 15-20 years.
As a ground-floor end-unit located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this property offers superior privacy, fewer shared walls, and easier accessibility compared to standard interior units.
The inclusion of full-size in-unit laundry and granite countertops provides significant modern utility and value that is often missing in older condominium complexes.
The residence features a private patio accessible via large sliding glass doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and providing a dedicated personal retreat.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =174590, other record lot size in square feet = 174441.
The monthly HOA fee of $535 is relatively high for a property at this price point, which may impact the overall monthly affordability for budget-conscious buyers.
The reliance on a single wall air conditioning unit rather than a central HVAC system may result in uneven temperature distribution throughout the two-bedroom layout.
