More Insights
Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property has received recent cosmetic upgrades including fresh paint and updated laminate flooring throughout, making it visually appealing and move-in ready. However, while the kitchen features updated black appliances and decent countertops, the cabinet style appears to be original or painted, not a full modern renovation. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional with updated tiling, but the vanity styles and strip lighting are dated. Crucially, the listing does not specify updates to major systems such as HVAC, roof, plumbing, or electrical, which for a 43-year-old home, are likely original or older and may require future attention. The property is well-maintained but shows signs of its age in key areas, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =11222, other record lot size in square feet = 11325.
Age of Property & Unspecified System Updates: Built in 1981, the description highlights cosmetic updates (paint, flooring) but does not specify if major systems (HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical) have been updated, which could lead to future maintenance costs.
Inconsistent Property Type Information: The listing's 'Condominium' sub-type directly contradicts the description of a standalone 'home' on a 0.26-acre lot with a private pool, requiring immediate clarification for buyers and financing.
Limited Bathroom-to-Bedroom Ratio: For a 4-bedroom home, having only 2 bathrooms might be a functional limitation for larger households or guests, potentially impacting daily convenience.
