Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovation: The property has been newly reimagined and is move-in ready, featuring herringbone-pattern engineered hardwood floors, an open concept living area, a custom built-in office nook, and fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms with upgraded fixtures and dual sinks.
Exceptional Outdoor Oasis: The private backyard is a true tropical oasis, boasting a brand-new saltwater pool and spa, lush fruit trees, new turf, a BBQ area, and ample space for al fresco dining and entertaining, ideal for California living.
Premium Energy & Water Efficiency: Significant modern upgrades include paid-off solar panels, a whole-house water softener, a reverse osmosis system, and an EV charging station, offering cost savings and environmental benefits.
Prime Mesa Verde Location: Ideally situated close to Mesa Verde’s beloved parks, top-rated schools, a wide array of restaurants, shops, and coastal amenities, providing convenience and a desirable lifestyle.
Enhanced Privacy & Practicality: Features a new fence, a gated entrance for utmost privacy, a 2-car garage, and ample street parking, adding to the home's security and functionality.

Cons

Original Construction Year: Despite extensive renovations, the property was built in 1960, meaning some underlying structural or system components (e.g., plumbing, electrical behind walls) may still be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance.
Lack of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: The detailed description of upgrades does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant comfort factor and potential added expense for future installation in a warm California climate.
Potentially Limited Open Green Space: While the backyard is highly amenitized with a pool, spa, and various plantings on a 6804 sqft lot, this might leave limited expansive open green space for certain recreational activities or larger pet areas.
