Strong Investment Opportunity: Located on fee simple land and explicitly approved for short-term rentals (with city registration), presenting a lucrative investment potential or flexible vacation home option.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1972, the property is over five decades old, which may necessitate future updates to major systems or components, despite current maintenance.
Significant Monthly Association Fees: The $510 monthly association fee, while covering numerous amenities and maintenance, adds a substantial recurring cost to homeownership.
Interior Modernization Potential: While 'refreshed,' the 'blank canvas' description and age suggest that a buyer seeking fully modernized interiors (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms) may incur additional renovation costs.
