Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1977, is well-maintained and appears clean with some refreshed areas like paint and carpet in the living room and bedrooms. However, the kitchen features significantly outdated oak cabinets, basic laminate countertops, older black appliances (excluding the refrigerator), and dated fluorescent lighting. The linoleum/vinyl tile flooring in the kitchen and dining area also contributes to an older aesthetic. While functional, these key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to align with modern standards, placing the property in the 'Fair' condition category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Proven Income Potential: The property is explicitly stated as a 'Successful vacation rental,' indicating a strong track record for generating rental income and high demand.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in a desirable neighborhood, it offers excellent proximity to key attractions such as the convention center, ski slopes, restaurants, shopping, lake, and village.
Updated & Custom Design: Described as a 'Beautiful, updated, custom mountain home,' suggesting modern aesthetics and good overall condition.
Flexible Living Space: A spacious downstairs room offers versatility, easily serving as a game room or a potential fourth bedroom, adding significant value and utility.
Strong Value Proposition: The current list price of $499,000 represents a significant reduction from the original $645,000 and is below the estimated market value of $522,453.02, offering an attractive investment opportunity.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1977, the property's age, despite being updated, may raise concerns for some buyers regarding the condition or lifespan of original structural components or systems.
Limited Garage Space: The presence of only a one-car attached garage could be restrictive for a mountain home, especially for vacation renters or full-time residents with multiple vehicles or recreational equipment.
Mixed School Performance: While the high school has a decent rating, the lower ratings for elementary (2) and middle (3) schools might be a deterrent for families prioritizing strong public education options.
