Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1998, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen, which features modern stainless steel LG appliances, updated shaker-style cabinets, and contemporary dark grey solid surface countertops. The consistent wood-look tile flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms is also a modern and durable update. While the bathrooms, as seen in the shower, appear clean and functional, their style might be slightly less contemporary than the kitchen. Overall, the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and finishes that suggest an extensive renovation within the last 5-15 years, aligning with a 'good' condition rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exclusive Unit & Privacy: This rare end unit villa offers enhanced privacy with no neighbors above or below, situated on the desirable South Bluff.
Fabulous Views: Enjoy fabulous views from both balconies, a premium feature that significantly enhances the property's appeal and value.
Comprehensive HOA Coverage: The HOA fee is highly inclusive, covering all utilities and insurance, simplifying ownership and providing predictable monthly costs.

Abundant Natural Light & Sea Breeze: Numerous windows ensure an abundance of natural light and allow for the refreshing sea breeze, creating a bright and airy living environment.
Cons
Extended Days on Market: With 407 days on market, the property has experienced a prolonged selling period, which may indicate challenges with pricing or market perception.
Significant Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $1,275,000 to $1,098,000 suggest initial overpricing or difficulty attracting buyers at higher price points.
High Association Fee: Despite comprehensive coverage, the $1,424.00 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a deterrent for some potential buyers.
