Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1999, is in good condition and is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. While the main structure is 25 years old, key areas have seen significant updates. The main living areas feature modern luxury vinyl plank flooring, which appears recently installed. The kitchen boasts functional stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, though the traditional oak cabinet style is not contemporary. Bathrooms are clean and well-maintained with granite counters in the main house. Modern amenities like a tankless water heater and high-end Miele stacked laundry units are present. The property's systems, including propane FAU, wood stoves, and mini-splits in the detached spaces, are functional and well-maintained. The overall aesthetic is a blend of rustic charm (pine paneling) and updated functionality, making it a comfortable and well-kept home.

Cons

Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price of $749,000 to $649,000, which may raise questions about its market appeal or initial overpricing.
Complex Property Management: With multiple independent structures, the property could entail more complex and potentially higher maintenance requirements compared to a single-unit residence.
