PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Loft Space

- Premium Corner Location
This rare corner-position unit is ideally situated directly in front of the pool entrance and features recent high-value upgrades, including brand-new double-pane windows and a newly finished deck patio.
- Extensive Community Amenities

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 781, other record living area = 882.
- Single Bathroom Limitation
With only one existing bathroom, the unit may present a challenge for households utilizing the loft as a second bedroom until a second bathroom is added.
- High Monthly Carrying Costs
The $495 monthly association fee is relatively high for a property under 800 square feet, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
