Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this property shows clear signs of being well-maintained, as indicated by the 'pride of ownership' in the description and the good condition of the exterior, deck, and hot tub. However, the interior, especially the kitchen, features dated elements such as older wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and black appliances. While functional, these components are aesthetically outdated and would require minor updates to meet current styles and preferences. The overall interior, with wood paneling and older light fixtures, suggests the home has not undergone a major modern renovation, fitting the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Recreational Location: The property boasts a fantastic central Moonridge location, offering immediate access to ski resorts, golf courses, the zoo, and extensive hiking and biking trails, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.
Strong Income Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'solid vocational rental' that 'sleeps a bunch,' indicating excellent potential for rental income and investment.
Charming Alpine Aesthetics: Features vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and abundant windows that provide loads of natural light, contributing to a classic and inviting cabin atmosphere with evident pride of ownership.
Desirable Outdoor Amenities: Includes an elevated deck with alpine views, a fenced yard, and a hot tub, enhancing the property's appeal for relaxation and entertainment.
Scenic Views: Offers picturesque alpine, mountain, and trees/woods views from the elevated deck, providing a serene and natural backdrop.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, which may suggest older systems or components that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite current good condition.
Lack of Cooling System: The description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a discomfort during warmer summer days, especially for those accustomed to it.
Below-Average School Ratings: Nearby elementary and middle schools have ratings of 2 and 3, which might be a consideration for buyers with school-aged children seeking a primary residence.
