Built in 1989, this property is 35 years old and shows significant signs of its age without major renovations. The kitchen features highly dated white tiled countertops, original-style cabinets with wood trim, and older black appliances, indicating a need for a full remodel. Carpets appear worn and dated in color, and light fixtures, built-in cabinetry, and mirrored walls in the living areas reflect a late 80s/early 90s aesthetic. While the property appears well-maintained structurally and has functional systems (including 20 owned solar panels), the interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen, are outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. No bathroom images were provided, but it's reasonable to assume they are similarly dated given the rest of the interior.

Owned Solar Panels: Equipped with 20 owned solar panels, this unit provides significant energy cost savings and contributes to environmental sustainability.
Enhanced Privacy & End Unit Location: As an end unit elevated above adjacent neighbors, the property offers superior privacy and an unobstructed setting.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $876.0 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Remote Desert Location: Situated in a low desert community 'miles away from the nearest stoplight,' which, while offering tranquility, implies limited immediate access to diverse urban amenities and services, and potentially extreme summer temperatures.
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1989, the property is over 30 years old. While well-maintained, there is no explicit mention of recent major system upgrades, which could imply potential future maintenance or renovation costs for systems like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical.
