More Insights
Built in 1975 (51 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1975, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing its interior to an excellent, virtually new condition. The description highlights 'new plush luxury carpet' upstairs and 'new vinyl floors throughout' downstairs. The kitchen features modern natural wood shaker cabinets, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wine fridge, all appearing to be very recent updates. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities and clean tiling. Central AC & heating, EV charging, and recessed lighting further enhance its modern appeal. The overall quality, style, and features of the renovated components meet current high standards, indicating minimal physical depreciation post-renovation.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Age of Building & Potential Infrastructure: Built in 1975, the property is nearly 50 years old. While interior updates are noted, the underlying building infrastructure may be older and could require future maintenance or upgrades not covered by unit renovations.
Townhome/Condo Lifestyle Limitations: As a townhome-style condo, it involves shared walls, potential for neighbor noise, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may limit personal modifications or lifestyle choices compared to a detached home.
Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $515 monthly HOA fee, while comprehensive, represents a substantial recurring cost that adds to the overall housing expense and can be a deterrent for some buyers when factoring in other ownership costs.
