More Insights
Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1990, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, as evidenced by the 'beautifully updated home' description and the pristine condition shown in the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and light-colored granite/quartz countertops, all appearing virtually new. Bathrooms are similarly updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and glass-enclosed showers. Consistent hardwood-style laminate flooring throughout, contemporary light fixtures, and plantation shutters contribute to a fresh, move-in ready aesthetic with no visible deferred maintenance. This aligns with the 'Excellent' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 years.

Cons
Age-Restricted Community: Being a 55+ community property, it significantly limits the potential buyer pool, as it is not accessible to all age groups, which can impact market demand.
Limited Ocean Views: The description specifies 'peekaboo ocean views,' indicating that the views are not expansive or unobstructed, which might be a drawback for buyers seeking full panoramic ocean vistas.
Smaller Square Footage: With 1012 square feet, the home offers a more compact living space, which may not suit buyers looking for larger residences, even within a 55+ community context.
