More Insights

Built in 1987 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1987, this townhome shows a mix of updates and original features. The primary bathroom has been recently remodeled to a modern standard, which is a significant positive. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances, older countertops, and tile flooring, suggesting it has not been extensively renovated recently. A secondary bathroom also shows dated elements like a gold-framed shower. While the home is well-maintained with hardwood floors in living areas and central HVAC, the kitchen and at least one other bathroom would require updates to meet current buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of requiring minor updates and showing signs of being outdated in major components.

Cons

High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $685.0 is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Potential for Dated Elements: While the primary bathroom is remodeled and the home is generally 'upgraded,' the description does not specify updates for all bathrooms or the kitchen beyond a 'walk-through,' suggesting some areas might retain original 1987 finishes.
Townhome Lifestyle Limitations: As a townhome, it inherently involves shared walls and adherence to HOA rules, which may limit privacy and individual property modifications compared to a detached single-family home.
