Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1989, this grand estate is well-maintained and functional, but the interior design, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, shows its age. The kitchen features traditional white cabinets and dark granite, while some bathrooms have dated fixtures and finishes (e.g., striped wallpaper, pedestal sinks). The property is move-in ready and appears structurally sound, but significant aesthetic updates would be required to modernize it to current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago that is aged but maintained and shows signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community Amenities: Situated in the prestigious Fairbanks Ranch, offering unparalleled community amenities including a lake, clubhouse, multiple sports courts, equestrian center, and top-tier security.
Exceptional Scale & Versatility: A sprawling 10,097 sq. ft. estate on a 1.53-acre cul-de-sac lot, featuring 8 beds, 11 baths, multiple guest suites, offices, game room, and a 900+ bottle wine room, providing extensive living and entertainment space.
Comprehensive Resort-Style Amenities: Boasts a private tennis court (pickleball convertible), large pool with electric cover, sauna, steam room, fully equipped gym, and outdoor entertaining patios with fireplace.
Extensive Vehicle & Storage Capacity: Features a unique two-story garage with space for up to six vehicles, hydraulic lift options, and an upper room for collections, appealing to car enthusiasts or those needing vast storage.
Timeless Architectural Character: Showcases Mediterranean-inspired elegance with custom wood paneling, intricate moldings, and soaring ceilings, offering sophisticated design elements.

Cons

Potential for Significant Renovation Investment: Built in 1989, the property is presented as a 'blank canvas with endless potential' and 'opportunities for personalization,' indicating that substantial modernization or renovation may be necessary to align with current luxury market expectations.
High Ongoing Operating Costs: The sheer size (11,000 sq. ft., 1.53 acres) and extensive amenities (pool, gym, sauna, tennis court) will result in considerable ongoing expenses for maintenance, utilities, and landscaping, in addition to the $775 monthly HOA fee.
Specific Architectural Style: The 'Mediterranean-inspired elegance' may limit appeal to a niche buyer segment, potentially extending market time compared to properties with more universally desired contemporary aesthetics.
