Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1995, this property is well-maintained with some updates, but the kitchen appears largely original or updated over 15-20 years ago with dated cabinets, white appliances (except for a newer stainless steel fridge), and basic countertops. While one bathroom shows a more recent update with modern tile and flooring, another glimpse suggests an older vanity. The overall condition is clean and functional, with good hardwood floors in living areas and clean carpets in bedrooms, but the inconsistent level of updates, particularly in the kitchen, prevents it from reaching a 'Good' score. It fits the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained with occasional updates, and major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: Offers breathtaking golf course, mountain, and city views from its elevated position above the 15th green.
Prime End-Unit Location: Exceptional end-unit townhome providing true privacy and easy access to downtown Clayton's amenities, trails, and parks.
Functional Layout: Thoughtful layout featuring en-suite bathrooms in every bedroom, ideal for guests, family, or roommates.
Ample Parking & Storage: Includes a spacious 2-car attached garage, offering significant convenience and storage solutions.
Maintained Surroundings: Benefits from beautifully maintained HOA landscaping, contributing to a peaceful and attractive living environment.
Cons
High HOA Fees: The monthly association fee of $509 is relatively high, which could impact overall affordability for some buyers.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property may not suit larger families or those requiring additional dedicated spaces like a home office or guest room.
Townhome Structure: As a townhome, it may have shared walls and potentially less private outdoor space compared to a single-family residence, which could be a consideration for some buyers.
