Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, the property features a kitchen renovation that appears to be 15-25 years old based on the oak cabinetry and white appliances. While the unit is well-maintained with newer windows and an open floor plan, the interior finishes and baseboard heating systems are dated and require modernization to meet current market standards.
As an end-unit cottage with a private backyard area, this property offers a rare sense of seclusion and the feel of a detached home within a condominium community.
The interior features a contemporary updated kitchen with an open floor plan, newer windows, and custom built-ins, providing a move-in-ready aesthetic.
Residents benefit from an extensive amenity package including a 9-hole golf course, pool, and clubhouse, with the HOA fee conveniently covering water, trash, cable, and internet.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1014, other record living area = 1209.
The monthly HOA fee of $845 is relatively high, which increases the total carrying cost and may impact the affordability for some prospective buyers.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms, the layout may be less convenient for guests or multi-occupant households compared to units with a second bath.
