Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1973, this home is well-maintained but shows signs of age and piecemeal updates. While the description mentions 'brand new cabinets (2025)' (likely a typo for a recent year), the kitchen still features older laminate countertops, a mix of appliance ages (stainless steel microwave/range, older white refrigerator), and somewhat dated lighting. Bathrooms have updated vanities but are not fully modern. Flooring is updated to wood-look laminate throughout, which is a positive. The overall condition is clean and functional, but many elements are outdated, and the listing itself suggests bringing 'your paint and style,' indicating cosmetic updates are needed. It's move-in ready but not extensively renovated to current standards, aligning with the 'fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Bedroom/Bathroom Count: The property offers a substantial 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a highly desirable downstairs bedroom and full bath, providing excellent space and flexibility for families or guests.
Modernized Kitchen: The kitchen features brand new cabinets (noted as 2025, implying recent or upcoming upgrade), an open-concept design, a breakfast bar, and a spacious breakfast area, making it a contemporary and functional hub.
Valuable Community Amenities: Residents have access to HOA-maintained community amenities including a pool, tennis courts, and picnic area, all within a short walking distance, significantly enhancing lifestyle and recreational opportunities.
Architectural Appeal: The home boasts desirable architectural features such as vaulted ceilings in the large family room and primary bedroom, contributing to an open, airy, and grand interior aesthetic.
Strong School District & Proximity: Located within a well-regarded school district, the property benefits from highly-rated elementary, middle, and high schools all within close proximity, appealing to families.
Cons
Cosmetic Personalization Required: The description 'Bring your paint and style' suggests that while 'move-in ready,' the 1973-built home likely requires cosmetic updates and personalization to fully modernize its aesthetic to current buyer preferences.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'View: None,' which may be a significant drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas or a strong outdoor visual connection.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from its original list price, which could indicate initial overpricing or a slower market response, potentially affecting perceived value or buyer confidence.
