Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1984, this home has undergone extensive and recent renovations, including a new steel roof, freshly painted interior (June 2025) and exterior (September 2023), Milgard dual-pane windows, and a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Smart home features like an Ecobee thermostat, smart garage opener, smart lock, Ring system, and an EV charger further enhance its modern functionality. While the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, their style suggests an earlier update, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the significant and recent upgrades to major components and aesthetics ensure the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Functional Layout with Main Floor Bedroom: The inclusion of a desirable main floor bedroom provides flexibility and convenience, catering to various living arrangements and accessibility needs.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1984, the home is 40 years old. While many cosmetic and some structural upgrades are noted, potential buyers may inquire about the condition and age of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced).
Ongoing Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $170, which adds to the recurring cost of homeownership and may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
Bathroom Count: With 2.5 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms and nearly 2,900 sq ft, some buyers may find the number of full bathrooms slightly limited for a home of this size and price point.
