Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1980, has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and updated countertops. Bathrooms are extensively updated with contemporary fixtures, vessel sinks, modern vanities, and a freestanding tub in the primary suite. Dark wood flooring throughout the main living areas and updated lighting contribute to a modern aesthetic. While not a brand-new build or renovated within the last 5 years to the absolute latest trends, the quality and style of the updates are excellent and appear to be within the last 5-15 years, aligning perfectly with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Equestrian Lifestyle & Community Amenities: Located in the coveted Carriage Hills equestrian community, zoned for horses, with access to a community horse arena, riding/walking trails, playground, dog park, and picnic areas, all supported by a low HOA fee.
Luxurious Outdoor Living & Entertainment: Features a custom saltwater pool and spa, a sprawling flat yard ideal for entertaining, a relaxing pergola, and mature trees providing serene privacy.
Versatile Floor Plan & Spacious Living: Offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a convenient downstairs bedroom and full bath, an expansive primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a covered outdoor deck, a 3-car garage, and a large driveway.
Modern Interior Finishes & Features: Boasts a kitchen with white shaker cabinets, caramel travertine counters, and stainless steel appliances, rich dark wood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and two fireplaces.
Significant Expansion Potential: The property includes a designated area ideal for adding a casita, ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), or a volleyball court, offering future value and customization opportunities.

Cons

Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1980, the property's age suggests that some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
Absence of Panoramic Views: Despite a pleasant backyard oasis, the property's structured data indicates 'View: None,' implying a lack of distant scenic or panoramic views often sought in luxury properties.
Ongoing Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: While described as 'low' for the extensive amenities, the $199 monthly HOA fee is a recurring cost that adds to the overall cost of ownership and may be a consideration for some buyers.
