Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1965, this property retains many original or very dated features, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features outdated tiled countertops and backsplash, basic white cabinets, and older appliances. The bathrooms also show significant age with dated vanities, light fixtures, and tile. While the property has been freshly painted and has new carpet, these are minor cosmetic updates. The description explicitly states the need to 'update some finishes' and 'do some work,' indicating that substantial rehabilitation of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms is required to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Mid-Century Modern Appeal: A true 'MID CENTURY GEM' believed to be designed by Barry Berkus, offering unique architectural character highly sought after by modernists and preservationists.
Significant Price Adjustment: A 'BIG price adjustment' below $300,000 from its original list price, presenting a strong value proposition for buyers willing to invest in updates.
Community Amenities: Enjoy convenient access to community pool, spa, and mailboxes just steps away, enhancing the lifestyle offerings.
Recent Cosmetic Updates: The home has been freshly painted and features new carpet, providing a clean and updated foundation for personalization.
Exclusive & Desirable Location: Nestled in the quiet and desirable Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood within the intimate Chalet Palms community (one of only 32 units).

Cons

As-Is Condition & Required Renovation: The property is a 'Trust Sale' and sold 'AS IS,' explicitly stating the need for buyers to 'bring your ideas, do some work, update some finishes,' implying significant additional investment.
Unconventional Bathroom Layout: Features a 'very unique half bath off each bedroom feature (with a shower room in between),' which may not appeal to all buyers and could require modification.
Community Laundry Only: Reliance on 'community laundry' rather than in-unit facilities could be an inconvenience for daily living.
