Despite being built in 1976, this property has undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation very recently, likely within the last 5 years. The 'chef’s kitchen' is a true masterpiece with high-end appliances, a massive waterfall island, and custom pantry. All bathrooms are gorgeously updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and tile work. The flooring throughout (modern LVP and clean carpets), light fixtures, and overall aesthetic are contemporary and in pristine condition. The resort-style backyard with a sparkling pool, sauna, built-in outdoor kitchen, and fire pit further emphasizes the recent, luxurious upgrades. Modern amenities like paid solar and an EV charger also contribute to its excellent condition, indicating no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.

Cons

Original Construction Year: Built in 1976, the property's underlying structure is older, which may raise concerns about potential unseen infrastructure updates (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond specified upgrades) for some buyers.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price adjustments from the original listing price suggest potential market resistance or an initial overvaluation, which could impact buyer perception of value.
High Maintenance for Extensive Amenities: The elaborate resort-style backyard and numerous features, while attractive, imply significant ongoing maintenance and operational costs (pool, sauna, outdoor kitchen, landscaping) that may not suit all buyers.
