Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready, turnkey condition with several contemporary updates. Although built in 1974, the interior features updated wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and modern ceiling fans. The kitchen is well-maintained with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. While the cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms reflects an older style, the overall maintenance and functional upgrades align with the 'good' criteria for a well-maintained home within its expected lifespan.
The community is both FHA and VA approved, which significantly broadens the pool of eligible buyers and makes homeownership more accessible for veterans and first-time purchasers.
As a move-in ready corner unit, the property offers contemporary updates, stainless steel appliances, and a functional layout that benefits from increased privacy and natural light.
The property is ideally situated near Lake Murray and I-8, complemented by robust community amenities including two sparkling pools, a clubhouse, and a fitness room.
With 47 days on the market and two consecutive price reductions from the original $750,000, the property has struggled to find a buyer at its initial valuation points.
The monthly association fee of $440 represents a significant ongoing carrying cost that may impact the debt-to-income ratio and overall affordability for budget-conscious buyers.
