Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1985, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its overall aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, shows signs of being outdated. While the kitchen features granite countertops and custom cabinetry, the style of the light wood cabinets and black appliances suggests an upgrade that is likely 15-20+ years old, rather than recent. The bathrooms also feature dated light wood vanities, cultured marble countertops, and sliding shower doors. The 'new wood-tone plank flooring' is a positive recent update, but it doesn't elevate the entire property to a 'Good' rating, as significant portions of the home's finishes and fixtures are functional but not contemporary.
Pros & Cons

Fully Furnished & Upgraded Interior: The home is fully furnished and features an upgraded kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and included appliances, along with new wood-tone plank flooring, making it move-in ready.
Low-Maintenance Living: HOA fees cover exterior building maintenance and trash service, offering a convenient, low-maintenance lifestyle ideal for seasonal residents or those seeking a 'lock-and-leave' property.
Unique Dark Sky Community Location: Situated in Borrego Springs, an internationally recognized Dark Sky Community, appealing to stargazers and outdoor enthusiasts with opportunities for golf, hiking, and biking.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Fees: The monthly HOA fee of $876 is significant and could be a deterrent for some buyers, impacting overall affordability and long-term ownership costs.
Property Age: Built in 1985, the property is approaching 40 years old. While some upgrades are noted, potential buyers may factor in future maintenance or system replacement costs for components not explicitly mentioned as new.
Niche Market Location: Borrego Springs is a remote desert community with a specific appeal, which may limit the potential buyer pool compared to properties in more accessible or diverse markets, potentially affecting market time and resale value.
