Bathrooms, particularly the primary suite, feature spa-style amenities like a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities with quartz, and a walk-in glass shower, all with modern fixtures and finishes. Custom distressed hardwood floors, designer lighting, and updated systems like paid solar and an EV plug further confirm a recent, comprehensive upgrade, leaving no deferred maintenance and meeting current quality standards.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1987, which, despite extensive modern upgrades, may lead some buyers to question the condition or age of underlying infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as replaced.
High Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $353.00 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Specific Architectural Style: The distinct 'modern farmhouse' and 'Craftsman' aesthetic, while popular, may not appeal to all high-end buyers, potentially limiting the market compared to a more universally contemporary design.
