Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1991, is 33 years old. While well-maintained and featuring some cosmetic updates like neutral tile flooring, carpeting, and recessed lighting, the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dated cabinet styles, white solid-surface countertops, and older appliances. The primary bathroom has 90s-era vanities, lighting, and a framed glass shower enclosure, while a secondary bathroom even has carpeted flooring, which is highly undesirable in modern standards. These areas are functional and clean but require minor updates to meet current aesthetic and quality expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Resort Community & Amenities: Located in the prestigious Palm Valley Country Club, offering two Ted Robinson-designed golf courses, a 100,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with extensive amenities including fitness, spa, tennis, pickleball, and 46 community pools/spas.
Spectacular Panoramic Views: Boasts spectacular panoramic south and west views of the golf course, tranquil lake, and majestic mountains, enhancing the property's appeal and value.
Turnkey Furnished & Designer Interiors: Offered turnkey-furnished with custom designer finishes, soaring vaulted ceilings, a statement gas fireplace, wet bar, and updated flooring, providing immediate luxury living.
Short-Term Rental Friendly: The Palm Valley Country Club community is short-term rental friendly, presenting a significant income-generating opportunity for owners.
Luxurious En-Suite Accommodations: Features a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like soaking tub and glass walk-in shower, and each of the two additional bedrooms includes its own en-suite bath for ultimate privacy.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The $775 monthly association fee is substantial and represents a significant recurring cost of ownership, which may deter some buyers.
Detached Garage: The two-car garage is detached and accessed from the front courtyard, which may be less convenient for some buyers compared to an attached garage.
Property Age: Built in 1991, the property's core infrastructure is over 30 years old, which could imply potential for future maintenance or updates despite recent cosmetic improvements.
