Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1983, making it 41 years old. While it features updated stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and dual-pane windows, the overall style of the kitchen cabinets, countertops, and backsplash appears dated. The bathrooms also show signs of age with older vanities, fixtures, and tile work. The presence of green carpet in the bedrooms further indicates an older aesthetic. The home is well-maintained and functional, but its major components and finishes are outdated, suggesting it would benefit from minor updates to meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Accessibility: The property boasts a prime location with easy year-round access, being minutes away from the Zoo, Golf Course, Ski Resorts, Lake, shopping areas, and restaurants.
Strong Income Potential & Turnkey: It has a proven history of generating rental income for many years and comes completely furnished, making it a turnkey solution ideal for a vacation rental or second home.
Outdoor Amenities & Mountain Views: Features three deck areas, one with a jacuzzi, all offering views, plus a balcony off the upstairs bedroom, enhancing outdoor living and providing partial views of Bear Mountain Ski Slopes.
Motivated Seller & Price Advantage: A recent $50,000 price reduction and a motivated seller indicate a strong opportunity for a quick sale and potential value for buyers.
Comfort & Efficiency Features: Includes vaulted ceilings, stainless steel kitchen appliances, a central heating system, an energy-efficient wood-burning stove, and dual-pane windows, contributing to comfort and potential energy savings.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1983, the property is over 40 years old, which may suggest potential for older infrastructure or systems that could require future updates or maintenance not explicitly detailed.
Lack of Cooling System: While equipped with central heating and a wood-burning stove, there is no mention of an air conditioning system, which could be a discomfort during warmer periods.
Limited Lot Size & Partial Views: The lot size of 4160 sqft is relatively small, offering limited outdoor space. Additionally, the views are described as 'partial' rather than expansive, which might not meet expectations for some buyers seeking grander vistas.
