The property, built in 1981, is well-maintained and functional, but the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly outdated. The kitchen features original-style dark wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older appliances. Bathrooms also show dated vanities and tile work. Flooring consists of older carpet and tile, and light fixtures are largely from an earlier era. While livable, the home requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Versatile Guest House: A dedicated 576 sq. ft. guest house with a half bath offers significant flexibility for extended family, rental income, or a private workspace.
Expansive & Usable Lot: Nearly an acre (0.92-acre) corner lot with horse zoning and cross-fencing provides ample space for equestrian activities, outdoor living, and privacy.
Comprehensive RV Accommodations: Features a covered RV carport with hookups and multiple RV gates, catering specifically to owners of recreational vehicles.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with solar panels, offering potential savings on electricity costs and an environmentally friendly feature.
Desirable Location & Access: Situated in the prime Desert Knolls area, offering convenient access to schools, shopping, commuter routes, and recreational opportunities like Mojave Narrows Park.

Cons

Potential for Dated Interiors: Built in 1981, the main home's interior, while custom, may require updates to kitchen, bathrooms, or finishes to align with current market trends and buyer expectations, as no major renovations are specified.
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimate: The listing price is 10% above the property's estimated value, which could deter potential buyers or lead to challenges in appraisal and financing.
Maintenance for Extensive Grounds: The large 0.92-acre lot, while an asset, will require significant ongoing maintenance for landscaping, fencing, and general upkeep, which could be a burden for some buyers.
