Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: High School: Sage Creek High School (9/10).
Prime Coastal Location & Walkability: Situated in a prime Village location, offering exceptional walkability to the beach, dining, coffee shops, and shopping, providing a highly desirable lifestyle.
Exclusive Penthouse End Unit with Views: A rare penthouse end unit boasting coastal, panoramic, and peek-a-boo views, enhanced by multiple decks for outdoor enjoyment and a sense of exclusivity.
Extensively Upgraded & Well-Appointed Interior: The unit is completely upgraded with features like wood floors, a dramatic staircase, fireplace, and zoned AC/Heat units, ensuring modern comfort and move-in readiness.
Comprehensive Community Amenities: Part of a secure complex offering a pool, spa, workout room, and game room, providing resort-style living and recreational opportunities for residents.
Ample Parking & Storage Solutions: Includes 2 dedicated parking spots, 5 guest parking spots, and a huge private storage room suitable for bikes, surfboards, or a workshop, addressing common coastal living challenges.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $627.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds significantly to the recurring cost of ownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
Shared Wall/Community Living: As a townhouse within a complex, it entails shared walls and adherence to HOA rules, which may not appeal to buyers seeking the complete privacy and autonomy of a detached single-family home.
Potential for Urban Noise: While the prime village location is a major asset, it can also expose the property to increased ambient noise from nearby businesses, foot traffic, and community activities, which might not suit those desiring absolute tranquility.
