Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant updates to major systems, including the roof, HVAC, and water heater in 2018. However, the interior finishes are largely original to its 1996 construction; the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated tile countertops and older cabinetry styles. While the home has fresh paint and updated flooring in common areas, the lack of a full interior renovation in nearly 30 years places it in the 'fair' category.
Situated on a desirable corner lot in La Quinta Cove, the home offers exceptional proximity to Old Town's dining and boutiques, as well as world-class hiking and biking trails.
The property features significant peace-of-mind improvements with the roof, HVAC system, furnace, and water heater all having been replaced in 2018.
The absence of HOA fees and location within a lower-cost electricity district significantly reduce monthly carrying costs, making it an ideal investment or primary residence.
The kitchen and bathrooms utilize tile countertops and older styling that may require modernization to meet the aesthetic preferences of contemporary buyers.
With a lot size under 4,800 square feet, outdoor space is relatively limited, which may restrict the potential for adding a large private pool or extensive landscaping.
