Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1983, is exceptionally well-maintained with recent major system upgrades (HVAC/water heater less than 5 years old). However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, older appliances (except for a newer stainless steel refrigerator), and dated countertops/backsplash. The bathrooms also show significant signs of being outdated with 80s/90s style vanities, fixtures, and tile. While clean and functional, these key areas would require substantial aesthetic renovations to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated major components requiring minor updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views & Corner Location: The property's corner location with an expanded patio offers desirable Mountain and Double Fairway views, a glimpse of the lake fountain, and stunning sunsets with winter snow peaks through expansive glass walls.
Extensive Luxury Community Amenities: Located within The Lakes Country Club, residents benefit from a Ted Robinson designed 27-hole golf course, 23 pickleball/tennis courts, a Lifestyle and Wellness Center with a 25-meter lap pool, and a clubhouse restaurant with breathtaking views.
Spacious & Functional Floor Plan: Boasting over 2700 sq ft, the 'TUCSON plan' features 3 bedroom suites plus a powder room, a formal living room, separate dining room, and family room, providing ample and versatile living spaces.
Recent Major System Upgrades: The HVAC and water heater are less than 5 years old, offering peace of mind and reducing immediate maintenance concerns for critical home systems.
Abundant Natural Light: Seven skylights strategically placed throughout the home ensure a bright and airy interior, enhancing the overall ambiance and living experience.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial monthly association fee of $1,887.00 represents a significant ongoing cost that could be a barrier for some prospective buyers, despite the extensive amenities offered.
Property Age & Potential for Interior Updates: Built in 1983, while described as luxury, some interior finishes or specific design elements may be considered dated by buyers seeking contemporary aesthetics, potentially necessitating future renovations.
Specific Architectural/Design Elements: Features such as the built-in wall fountain, stone fireplace and hearth, and sit-down bar, while luxurious for their era, might cater to a more traditional taste, potentially narrowing the pool of interested buyers who prefer modern, open-concept designs.
