Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1997, this home is well-maintained but shows its age through its interior finishes. The kitchen features traditional oak cabinetry, black appliances (despite the description mentioning stainless steel), and an earthy tiled backsplash, all indicative of early 2000s or late 1990s style. Bathrooms also have dated vanities and light fixtures. While functional and clean, the property would require significant cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for homes built over 20 years ago with no major recent renovations.

High Ongoing Maintenance Costs: The extensive half-acre lot with vast desert gardens, heated pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen suggests significant ongoing expenses for landscaping, pool service, and general property upkeep.
