Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1968, this property is over 50 years old and shows significant signs of age with no apparent major renovations in decades. The kitchen features extremely dated white appliances, worn laminate countertops, original-style cabinets, and a very old fluorescent panel light. The bathroom is equally outdated with small square tiles, old fixtures, and dated wallpaper. Carpets, popcorn ceilings, and light fixtures throughout the unit are also original or very old. The listing description 'ready for your finishing touches!' accurately reflects the need for substantial rehabilitation and modernization, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current standards. While not a tear-down, it requires extensive work beyond minor updates.

Exclusive 55+ Community with Rich Amenities: The property is located within The Villages Golf and Country Club, a beautiful 55+ community offering extensive amenities including golf courses, clubhouse, fitness center, pools, spa, tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts, catering to an active adult lifestyle.
Prime Ground Floor Corner Unit: This unique ground floor, corner unit provides enhanced privacy with no neighbors above and easy accessibility due to the absence of interior stairs, a significant advantage for the target demographic.
Abundant Natural Light & Private Outdoor Space: The dining/living room is filled with lots of natural light, and the unit includes a private patio, offering comfortable indoor-outdoor living and relaxation.

Generous Storage Options: The unit features ample closet space in the hallway and a spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet, providing practical and sufficient storage solutions.
Cons
Requires Renovation/Updates: The description states the unit is 'ready for your finishing touches,' indicating that significant additional investment and effort will be required from the buyer to modernize or personalize the space.
High Monthly Association Fee: The substantial monthly association fee of $1080.00 could be a significant financial burden and a deterrent for potential buyers, despite the extensive amenities offered.
Single Bedroom Layout: The 1-bedroom configuration limits the property's appeal to a smaller demographic, potentially excluding buyers who desire an extra room for guests, an office, or additional living space.
