Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone an extensive recent renovation, including a complete floorplan remodel to create a modern open-concept living area. The interior features high-quality wood-look flooring throughout, updated light fixtures, and a contemporary kitchen with white cabinetry and stainless steel GE appliances.

Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
The property features a comprehensive floorplan remodel with an open-concept kitchen and a split-bedroom layout, providing a contemporary living experience rare for its 1983 vintage.
The backyard is a standout feature, boasting a private pool, high-grade synthetic turf, and water-controlled gardening boxes, offering a low-maintenance yet luxurious private retreat.
The solar system is either assumable or requires a negotiated payoff, which may complicate the financing process and add to the buyer's long-term debt or monthly expenses.
With a $381 association fee combined with potential solar payments, the recurring non-mortgage costs are relatively high for a two-bedroom residence.
