Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1998, is 26 years old and appears well-maintained. While it boasts desirable features like maple hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, and some high-end appliances (Viking stove, Miele W/D), the kitchen and bathroom aesthetics are largely original or from an older renovation. The kitchen features natural wood cabinets and what appear to be tile countertops, along with a white dishwasher and refrigerator (despite the description mentioning a 'sleek Bosch refrigerator' which is not stainless in the images), which are functional but visually outdated. Similarly, the bathrooms have wood vanities and tile countertops with older style lighting. These elements indicate that while the home is move-in ready, it requires minor updates to modernize the key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) to meet current design standards, aligning it with the 'Fair' condition criteria for properties built over 20 years ago with no major recent renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Spacious & Functional Layout: Generous 3,150 sq ft with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a highly desirable dedicated library/office, catering to diverse family needs and remote work.
Exclusive Gated Community with Amenities: Located in the secure College Park community, offering a low-cost HOA with access to a pool, spa, playground, and picnic area, enhancing lifestyle and security.
Premium Interior Finishes & Appliances: Features elegant maple flooring, plantation shutters, cathedral ceilings, and high-end appliances (Bosch refrigerator, Viking stove, Miele laundry), indicating quality and move-in readiness.
Significant Price Adjustment: A substantial reduction from the original list price of $1.79M to $1.477M presents a compelling value proposition for potential buyers.
Desirable Kitchen & Primary Suite: A well-appointed kitchen with an island and two dining areas, complemented by a grand primary suite featuring wood flooring, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a separate soaking tub and dual vanities.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: At 4,845 sq ft, the lot is relatively small for a 3,150 sq ft home, potentially limiting extensive outdoor living space or future expansion.
Potential for Aging Systems: Built in 1998, the property is 26 years old, suggesting that major systems (HVAC, roof, water heater) may be original and could require future maintenance or replacement.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description highlights a gas fireplace but does not explicitly mention central air conditioning, which is a common expectation for a home of this size and location, potentially raising questions for buyers.
