Built in 1986, this property is 38 years old. While the home appears well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features light oak cabinets, white tiled countertops with dark grout, and older black appliances (double oven, microwave, dishwasher) that are functional but not modern. Similarly, the bathrooms have matching oak cabinetry and tiled countertops, along with older fixtures and finishes. The flooring is a mix of dark wood-look, tile, and some carpet, and many light fixtures and ceiling fans are also dated. The description itself notes that 'With minimal upgrades, this Unique & Breathtaking home can be your 'CASTLE DREAM',' indicating that updates are indeed needed to modernize the aesthetic. The property is habitable and functional but requires minor to moderate cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, to align with current buyer expectations and styles.

Spectacular Views: The property offers 'BREATHTAKING VIEWS' from its prime location, including from the main house and the private Casita, enhancing its desirability and ambiance.
Prime Location & Schools: Situated in Apple Valley's highly sought-after 'Desert Knolls' area, it benefits from proximity to desirable schools (Sitting Bull Academy, Apple Valley Schools), Jess Ranch Marketplace, and St. Mary's Hospital.

Generous Lot Size & Parking: A substantial 24,800 sq ft lot provides ample space for outdoor activities, plenty of RV & boat parking, a spacious 3-car garage, a circular driveway, and room to build an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU).

Cons

Requires Upgrades: The description notes that 'With minimal upgrades, this Unique & Breathtaking home can be your 'CASTLE DREAM',' indicating that some investment will be required to modernize or personalize the property to current standards.
Potentially Dated Interior Finishes: Built in 1986, and with the mention of 'minimal upgrades' needed, some interior elements such as 'Spanish Textured' ceilings and 'Oak Cabinets' might be considered dated by certain buyers, necessitating further renovation costs.
Niche Architectural Style: While unique, the blend of Spanish, Craftsman, Mediterranean, and Tudor styles may appeal to a specific taste, potentially narrowing the pool of prospective buyers compared to more contemporary or universally popular designs.
