Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1998, this property is well-maintained with laminate wood flooring and plantation shutters. However, the kitchen features white appliances and cabinetry that appear dated, not having undergone a full modern renovation. The primary bathroom, while boasting new tile flooring, retains older-style vanities and a corner tub. While there are minor updates like a custom-built entertainment center, the overall style and age of key components, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, indicate it's aged but maintained, fitting the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier 55+ Community & Amenities: Located in The Colony, a highly desirable 55+ gated community offering extensive resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, spas, fitness center, tennis, and pickleball courts, fostering an active adult lifestyle.
Desirable Single-Story Layout & Condition: A beautifully maintained single-story residence, highly sought after for ease of access and living, suggesting move-in readiness for prospective buyers.
Golf Course Views & Private Outdoor Space: Features beautiful golf course views from the home and a private backyard retreat with a covered patio and low-maintenance landscaping, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Enhanced Interior Features: Boasts vaulted ceilings, custom plantation shutters, laminate wood flooring, a functional kitchen with an island and built-in cooktop, a cozy fireplace, and a primary suite with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower.
Versatile Living Space & HOA Benefits: Includes a versatile den with custom built-ins for flexible use, and the HOA maintains the front yard, contributing to a low-maintenance lifestyle for the homeowner.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Significant Price Reductions & Below Recent Sale: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price of $660,000 to $595,000, and is currently listed below its March 2024 sale price of $620,000, which may indicate market resistance or overvaluation.
High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $348.00 per month is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, potentially impacting affordability and buyer interest.
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1998, the property is 26 years old. While well-maintained, major systems such as HVAC, water heater, or roofing may be original or nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future capital expenditures for a buyer.
