Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated, particularly with the use of wallpaper borders, older cabinet styles, and dated light fixtures. While it features some updates like granite countertops, porcelain tile, and a new water heater, it has not undergone a full modern renovation within the last 15 years, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category based on age and aesthetic style.
Situated in the highly desirable 'The Islands' community, the property offers excellent proximity to both downtown Gilbert and downtown Chandler's premier dining and entertainment hubs.
The layout features a split floor plan with private patio access from both bedrooms and a dedicated built-in office area, providing both privacy and functionality for remote work.
With the HOA managing front yard landscaping and the backyard featuring artificial turf and mature shade trees, the home is ideal for those seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Built in 1986, the property may require ongoing updates to major systems or aesthetic finishes to compete with newer residential developments in the area.
