Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this property is over 40 years old. While it benefits from fresh exterior paint and newer kitchen appliances (dishwasher and stove), the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dark, traditional cabinets and green countertops, and the bathrooms have basic white tiles and vanities, all consistent with styles from 20-30+ years ago. Light fixtures, such as the ceiling fans, are also dated. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but a major interior renovation would be required to update its aesthetic to current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7405, living area = 1355.
Valuable Water System Upgrades: The property includes a paid water softener and a reverse osmosis water filter system, offering significant value and addressing common water quality concerns for buyers.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Fenced front and back yards provide secure and private outdoor spaces, ideal for families with children or pet owners.
Improved Curb Appeal & Appliances: Fresh exterior paint and newer dishwasher and stove enhance the home's immediate visual appeal and reduce initial appliance replacement costs for a new owner.
Scenic Views: The property boasts desirable Desert, Mountain(s), and Peek-A-Boo views, adding aesthetic value and contributing to the overall living experience.
Starter Home Accessibility: Positioned as a 'cozy starter home,' it likely offers an attractive entry point into homeownership, appealing to first-time buyers or small families.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1980, the home is over 40 years old, which may imply older infrastructure (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) or dated interior finishes not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Compact Square Footage: At 1355 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the home offers a compact living space that might not appeal to buyers seeking more expansive or open-concept designs.
Limited Interior Renovation Details: While some exterior and kitchen appliance updates are noted, the description lacks details on broader interior renovations, suggesting other areas may require modernization to meet current aesthetic standards.
