Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1977, this property has undergone significant and recent updates that elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'. The HVAC system was rebuilt in 2022, and the home features a fully integrated smart system, recessed lighting, and newer insulation, indicating substantial investment in modernizing key components. The kitchen appears to have been updated with contemporary dark cabinetry, light countertops, and a mosaic backsplash, along with modern appliances. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, some elements like the shower door suggest they may not be as recently renovated as the kitchen, but they are well-maintained. The overall property is move-in ready with minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years (for major systems and key areas) and having well-maintained, functional systems.
Pros & Cons

Panoramic Mountain Views: The property boasts stunning panoramic views of Mt. San Jacinto and the Santa Rosa Mountains, a significant aesthetic and value-add feature.
Integrated Smart Home System: Equipped with a comprehensive smart system including Alexa-controlled lighting, smart switches, connected refrigerator, smart lock, and exterior security cameras, offering modern convenience and security.
Recent HVAC & Insulation Upgrades: HVAC systems rebuilt in 2022 and newer insulation throughout ensure improved energy efficiency and comfort, crucial for the desert climate.

Move-in Ready Condition & Interior Accents: Described as 'stylish, smart, and move-in ready' with appealing interior details like a custom coffee bar and recessed lighting.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1977, the home's age may imply potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as updated, despite recent HVAC and insulation improvements.
Desert Hot Springs Location: While offering views, the city of Desert Hot Springs may not appeal to all buyers compared to other Coachella Valley cities, and the extreme summer temperatures can be a consideration.
Absence of Pool/Spa: Despite being 'built for desert living' and entertaining, the property description does not mention a pool or spa, which is a highly sought-after amenity in this climate and could limit buyer appeal.
