Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1994, this property is well-maintained and clean, with recent updates like a new stove and microwave, and an AC unit replaced in 2014. However, the kitchen features Corian countertops and light wood cabinets, and the bathrooms have similar vanities and tile, all of which present a visibly dated aesthetic typical of the 1990s. While functional and move-in ready, these areas show signs of being outdated and would likely require minor cosmetic updates to align with current buyer preferences, fitting the 'fair' category.
The HOA covers landscaping, stucco, and roof, providing a low-maintenance lifestyle and reducing owner burden.
Features such as 10' ceilings, transom windows, skylights, coffered foyer, art niches, and plantation shutters create a bright and appealing living space.
A private, north-facing rear patio with tranquil Shadow Mountain views and a charming gated front courtyard offer excellent outdoor entertainment and curb appeal.
The kitchen features Corian countertops, which may be perceived as less contemporary than granite or quartz by some prospective buyers.
While a gas hookup is available, the current smooth glass electric cooktop might not be preferred by all buyers who prioritize gas cooking.
The AC unit was replaced in 2014, indicating it is approaching the typical 10-15 year lifespan, which could be a future consideration for replacement or significant maintenance.
