Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1990, is 34 years old and shows signs of being aged but maintained. While it benefits from a new HVAC system and updated wood-look flooring throughout, the bathroom features (blue tiled vanity, older shower enclosure) are distinctly dated and would likely require immediate renovation for most buyers. The kitchen is not fully visible but appears to have older appliances, and the overall aesthetic with wood paneling and older light fixtures suggests a need for minor updates to meet current styles.
Pros & Cons
Pros
New HVAC System: The recent installation of a new HVAC system provides modern climate control and reduces immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Attached 2-Car Garage: A hard-to-find attached 2-car garage with extra storage offers significant convenience and practical utility, especially in a mountain setting.
Spacious, Fenced Lot: The fully fenced 7,500 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space for relaxation, gardening, or entertaining, enhancing privacy and usability.
Desirable Interior Features: An open-concept great room with a wood-burning fireplace and a vaulted primary suite with a step-down soaking tub offer appealing comfort and unique amenities.
Versatile Use Case: The property's layout and features make it suitable as both a full-time mountain residence or a lucrative weekend getaway, broadening its market appeal.
Cons
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1277 sq ft, the interior living space may be considered modest for some buyers, potentially limiting appeal for those seeking larger homes.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: The elementary and middle schools in the district have relatively low ratings (4 and 3 respectively), which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing school quality.
Aging Infrastructure Potential: Built in 1990, while the HVAC is new, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original and nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
