Pros & Cons

Pros

Premium Location & Privacy: Situated at the top of a hill in Raymond Hills, this property offers a prime, quiet, and serene end-of-cul-de-sac location, enhancing desirability and privacy.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The home boasts significant recent upgrades including new dual-glazed windows, luxury plank vinyl flooring, new furnace and AC, a house-wide water softener, and central cooling, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for a buyer.
Versatile Living Spaces: With 5 bedrooms, a 3-car garage, a huge remodeled bonus room with a wet bar, and a downstairs 5th bedroom with a separate 'no steps' entry ideal for multi-generational living, the property offers exceptional flexibility.
Outdoor Entertainment & Landscaping: The beautifully manicured grounds feature a sparkling pool for year-round enjoyment and a variety of mature fruit trees, creating an inviting outdoor oasis.
Desirable Views: Leveraging its 'Top of the Hill' position, the property offers attractive views including City Lights, Hills, Mountains, and Trees/Woods, adding to its aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Property Age & Potential for Hidden Issues: Built in 1967, despite extensive upgrades, the underlying structure is older, which could potentially lead to unforeseen maintenance or system issues not explicitly covered by recent renovations.
High Maintenance Potential: The large square footage (3004 sqft), significant lot size (12100 sqft), pool, and extensive landscaping with mature fruit trees suggest potentially higher ongoing maintenance costs and utility bills.
Kitchen Modernization Ambiguity: While featuring a kitchen island, wall pantry, and double stack oven, the description does not explicitly state a full kitchen remodel, implying it might not be as comprehensively updated as other areas of the home.
