Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1993, is well-maintained but shows signs of being outdated in key areas. While the kitchen features granite countertops, the white appliances and tile flooring are dated. The primary bathroom, with its brass-framed shower and tile choices, also reflects an older style. The carpets throughout are clean but not a modern feature. These elements suggest renovations, if any, were done more than 15 years ago, aligning with the 'fair' category's criteria for an aged but maintained home requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Resort-Style 55+ Community: The property is located in The Colony, a highly desirable 55+ resort-style, 24-hour gate-guarded community offering extensive amenities including a 25,000 sq ft clubhouse, pool, spas, sports courts, and numerous social activities.
Prime Location & Views: The peaceful rear yard backs to a greenbelt with no neighbors behind, providing privacy and a pleasant view. The Cal Oaks Golf Course is also located within the community.
Functional Floorplan: Features a popular floorplan with a primary bedroom on the main level for convenience, and a second level offering a large guest bedroom, loft area, and full bathroom, ideal for guests, an office, or hobby space.
Low Maintenance Living: The HOA waters and maintains the front yard landscaping, reducing the maintenance burden for residents and contributing to the community's resort-like appeal.
Desirable Kitchen Feature: The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, a modern and sought-after feature that enhances the home's interior appeal.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $550,000 is substantially higher than the property's estimated value of $360,317.645 and generally above recent comparable sales in the community, indicating potential overpricing.
Age of Property with Unspecified Updates: Built in 1993, the property is older than some comparable homes, and the description only highlights granite countertops without mentioning other significant updates (e.g., HVAC, roof, windows) that might be expected for a home at this price point.
Limited Bedroom Count: The property officially has 2 bedrooms, despite a flexible loft space. Several comparable properties in the same community offer 3 bedrooms or a clear 3rd bedroom option, which could limit its appeal to buyers seeking more dedicated sleeping or office space.
