Built in 2000, this property is 24 years old. While it boasts high-quality materials, excellent maintenance, and 'newer stainless-steel appliances' in the kitchen, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen cabinetry, countertops, and bathroom fixtures (such as the glass block shower and specific tile/stone choices) reflects a style from the early 2000s. The home is move-in ready and functional, but these key areas show signs of being stylistically outdated compared to current trends, suggesting a need for minor cosmetic updates to achieve a modern look.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $1,198.0 is substantial and adds significantly to the ongoing cost of ownership.
Clubhouse Under Renovation: The main Clubhouse is currently under renovations, which may temporarily limit access to some fine dining and Golf Pro Shop amenities.
