Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Remodeling & Turn-Key Condition: The property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a whole-house repipe, fresh paint, and remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, offering a move-in ready experience.
Prime Golf Course Location & Panoramic Views: Directly situated on the golf course with picturesque views of the course, mountains, and pool from multiple rooms and the primary suite balcony.
Luxurious Resort-Style Backyard: Features a sparkling pool, waterfall, outdoor fireplace, built-in BBQ, and pizza oven, creating an ideal space for entertaining and relaxation.
High-End Interior Finishes: Boasts luxurious crystal quartzite countertops, newer cabinetry, a custom backlit quartzite bar, hardwood flooring, and a remodeled primary bathroom with marble and a soaking tub.
Exclusive Guard-Gated Community with Amenities: Located within a prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community offering access to a Jr. Olympic pool, tennis, pickleball, sport courts, playground, and scenic trails.

Cons

High Association Fees: The property carries a significant monthly association fee of $320, which adds to the ongoing cost of ownership.
Relatively Small Lot Size: At 5,400 sqft, the lot size may be considered modest for a luxury home with a pool and golf course frontage, potentially limiting additional outdoor space.
Recent Price Reduction & Valuation Discrepancy: The property has already seen a price reduction from its original listing, and the current list price is notably higher than the estimated property value, which could suggest overpricing or a longer sales cycle.
