Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and has undergone significant interior updates despite its 1969 construction. The kitchen features modern stone countertops and updated cabinetry, while the bathrooms have been fully renovated with contemporary vanities and glass-enclosed showers. The home is freshly painted, features consistent tile flooring, and benefits from a newly replaced community chiller system, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained, updated residence.
The HOA fee covers electricity, water, heating, and cooling via a brand-new community chiller system, providing predictable monthly expenses and eliminating individual HVAC maintenance responsibilities.
Located in the heart of North Central Phoenix, the property offers immediate access to Murphy's Bridle Path and the Arizona Canal trail, and is zoned for the highly-rated Sunnyslope High School.
The unit is freshly painted and move-in ready, complemented by a $4,000 seller credit that can be applied toward a mortgage rate buydown or a laundry facility buildout.
The $525 monthly HOA fee is substantial and may impact the purchasing power or debt-to-income ratio for budget-conscious buyers, despite the utility inclusions.
The specific mention of a credit for a 'laundry buildout' suggests the unit may currently lack full in-unit laundry hookups, which is a standard expectation for many modern homeowners.
