Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1991, this townhouse is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features updated countertops and a modern faucet, but the original-style oak cabinetry and mixed black/stainless steel appliances show signs of being outdated. While flooring (hardwood, tile, carpet) appears clean and in good condition, and the property benefits from fresh paint and ample natural light, the overall aesthetic in key areas like the kitchen and potentially the bathrooms (not fully visible) suggests it would benefit from minor updates to align with current styles. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating an aged but maintained home with functional components that show signs of being outdated.

Cons
Significant HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $530 is a notable ongoing expense that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Compact Lot Size: Typical for a townhouse, the 1,401 sq ft lot offers limited private outdoor space beyond the two patios, which may not suit buyers desiring a larger yard.
