Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. The listing description explicitly states 'A little TLC to make this all your own is all that is needed,' which indicates that minor updates or repairs are required. Without interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, and given the property's age, it's highly probable that these areas, along with other components, are outdated in style and potentially in need of cosmetic or minor functional updates. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria, where the home is aged but maintained, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, typically built within the last 25 to 40 years with no major renovations since construction.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Golf Course Frontage & Views: The property offers direct views of the beautiful Shadowridge Golf Course, providing a desirable aesthetic and enhancing the outdoor living experience.
Desirable Cul-de-Sac Location: Situated on a cul-de-sac street, the home benefits from reduced through traffic, offering increased privacy and a quieter living environment.
Community Amenities: Residents have access to valuable community amenities including a pool and neighborhood park, fostering a vibrant and active lifestyle.
Flexible Living Space: The home includes a den/office that can be easily converted into a third bedroom, offering versatility to accommodate various buyer needs.
Single-Story Design & Outdoor Patio: The single-story layout appeals to a broad demographic, complemented by an ample-sized covered back patio perfect for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining.
Cons
Condition Requires Investment: The description notes 'A little TLC to make this all your own is all that is needed,' indicating that buyers should anticipate immediate renovation or upgrade costs.
Limited Interior Space: With 1164 sqft, the home offers a relatively compact living area, which may not suit buyers seeking more expansive interior space or a larger family.
Potential for Dated Systems/Finishes: Built in 1985, the property is nearly 40 years old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and interior finishes may be original or require updating in the near future.
