Extensive Turnkey Upgrades: The home boasts brand new luxury flooring, modern appliances, PEX re-piping, a new HVAC system, updated electrical panel, and a Tesla charging station, making it move-in ready.
Gated Community & Resort-Style Amenities: Located within the secure, gated Melrose community, residents benefit from HOA-maintained front yard landscaping, gated security, and access to a resort-style pool and spa.

Cons

Ongoing HOA Fees: Despite being described as 'low,' the property incurs a mandatory monthly association fee of $220, which adds to the overall cost of ownership.
Smaller Interior Square Footage for Price Point: With 1754 sqft, the interior living space may be considered modest for a single-family residence at its current list price of $1.349 million, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger homes.
Potential for Age-Related Maintenance: While extensively upgraded, the property was built in 1997, meaning some original structural components or systems not covered by recent renovations may eventually require attention.
