Cons
Ongoing Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $400 adds to the recurring cost of homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Property Age (1997 Construction): Built in 1997, the property is not new construction, meaning some systems or finishes may not be the absolute latest and could require updates or maintenance sooner than a newer home.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original listing, which, while potentially attractive to buyers, might also raise questions about initial overpricing or market resistance.
