Condition Rating
Excellent
Built in 2001, this home has undergone extensive and recent renovations that elevate its condition to excellent. The description highlights a 'remodeled gourmet kitchen' with modern stainless steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and updated lighting, as seen in the images. Key systems have been recently upgraded, including 'new insulation, new hot water heater, central A/C and heat, and a concrete tile roof,' ensuring modern functionality and efficiency. The 'newer flooring throughout' and 'spa-like bath' in the primary suite further contribute to its high quality. While the primary bathroom's brass shower frame and tile countertops are not the absolute latest trend, they are impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the overall condition of the property, including the paid solar, indicates minimal physical depreciation and a move-in ready state meeting current quality standards.

Cons

Extensive Landscaping Maintenance: The beautifully landscaped private backyard with concrete, pavers, jacuzzi, gazebo, retaining wall, and numerous fruit trees may require significant ongoing maintenance.
Absence of a Swimming Pool: Despite a large lot and outdoor amenities like a jacuzzi, the property does not feature a full swimming pool, which some buyers in this price range may expect.
Potential for Older Original Components: While many items are upgraded, the home was built in 2001, and some original components (e.g., windows, plumbing not explicitly mentioned as new) may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan.
