The kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (including Bosch), presenting a clean and functional aesthetic.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Short-Term Rental Potential: Located in one of the few communities allowing short-term rentals, offering significant income potential for investors or part-time residents.
Extensive Community Amenities: Ownership includes access to a fitness center, tennis/pickleball courts, social activities, 24/7 security, and comprehensive maintenance (building, roof, landscape, pools, WI-FI, cable), enhancing lifestyle and value.
Poolside Location & View: This lower-level villa is steps from a pool and spa, offering a desirable resort-like living experience with a pleasant pool/park view.
Recent Upgrades & Newer Mechanicals: The kitchen features newer cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, while mechanicals like the hot water tank, toilets, A/C, and furnace have been recently updated, reducing immediate capital expenditures.
Turnkey-Furnished: Offered fully furnished, providing immediate occupancy and convenience for buyers, especially those looking for a vacation home or rental property.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $849 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost for ownership, potentially impacting affordability.
Property Age: Built in 1990, the property is over 30 years old. While some components are updated, other original systems or structural elements may require future maintenance or replacement.
Shared Facilities: As a condominium/villa, the property shares walls and common areas, including the pool and spa, which may offer less privacy compared to a single-family home with private amenities.
