TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a recent high-quality renovation (likely <5 years) featuring a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, navy cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Modernized Kitchen
The home features a stylishly updated kitchen with navy and white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and marble-look backsplashes, offering a contemporary aesthetic that appeals to modern buyers.
- Airy Interior Design
Vaulted ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring combined with large sliding glass doors create a bright, open living space that feels larger than its actual square footage.
- Prime School Proximity
Located just 0.17 miles from Monroe Elementary School, this property offers exceptional convenience for families, enhancing its long-term desirability and value.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Significant HOA Fees
The monthly association fee of $533 is relatively high for a single-family home, which may increase the total cost of ownership and deter some budget-conscious buyers.
- Limited Lot Size
With a lot size of just 4,078 square feet, the outdoor space is somewhat constrained, offering less privacy and room for expansion compared to other detached homes in the area.
