Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1989, has undergone significant and recent upgrades to major systems including a new roof (2017), central A/C and furnace (2017), new windows (2020), and full-house recessed lighting (2020). These extensive renovations, all within the last 5-7 years, align perfectly with the 'Good' category's criteria for properties extensively renovated within 5-15 years. The gourmet kitchen features premium stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a custom-refinished cabinet system, all in excellent condition. The bathrooms boast high-quality materials like granite and travertine, dual vanities, and a soaking tub, showing meticulous maintenance. While some aesthetic choices in the kitchen and bathrooms, such as the specific style of granite/travertine and cabinet design, might not be considered 'brand new' ultra-modern, they are high-end, well-maintained, and do not require immediate renovation. The property is move-in ready with no deferred maintenance, reflecting a high standard of care and recent investment.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Upgrades: Over $60,000 in significant improvements including a new roof (2017), central A/C and furnace (2017), new windows (2020), and full-house recessed lighting (2020), enhancing efficiency and value.
Gourmet Kitchen with Premium Appliances: Features elegant granite countertops, a center island, 6-burner stove, built-in refrigerator, and wine cooler, catering to a high-end lifestyle.
Highly Desirable Location: Situated in the sought-after Eastside Heights neighborhood, offering convenient access to top schools, beaches, shopping, and dining.
Luxurious Master Suite: Includes a private balcony, dual granite vanities, a travertine soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, providing a private, spa-like retreat.
Move-in Ready Condition: Meticulously maintained with fresh paint and numerous recent updates, allowing for immediate occupancy without major immediate expenses.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: The 2,958 sq ft lot is relatively small for a detached single-family home, potentially restricting outdoor living space and yard utility.
Monthly Association Fee: A $300 monthly association fee adds to the recurring ownership costs, with no explicit mention of the amenities or services it provides.
Absence of Scenic Views: The property lacks any notable scenic views, which could be a consideration for buyers prioritizing vistas in a coastal area.
