Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1993, is in 'good' condition due to extensive recent functional and cosmetic upgrades, making it move-in ready. The listing explicitly states 'New Carpet, Marble Floors, Fresh Neutral Paint, Shutters, Ceiling Fans, Newer A/C, Furnace, Water Heater, Water Softener System & SOLAR,' indicating that major systems are well-maintained and within their expected lifespan. While the kitchen features 'Cherry Cabinets' and 'Designer Tile,' the style of the cabinets, countertops (appearing to be an older composite material), and backsplash in the images suggests they are not a recent, modern renovation, aligning with the 'Potential for Dated Elements' weakness mentioned in the property analysis. The wet bar also appears dated. However, these elements are functional and well-maintained, not requiring immediate renovation or repair. The property is described as 'turnkey,' reinforcing its move-in readiness despite some stylistic elements in the kitchen and wet bar that are not contemporary.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Golf Course Location & Views: The property is ideally situated within the prestigious, guard-gated Dove Canyon community, nestled between two fairways of a private Jack Nicklaus Designed Golf Course, offering direct golf course views from multiple vantage points.
Extensive Modern Upgrades & Turnkey Condition: Recent significant upgrades include newer A/C, furnace, water heater, water softener system, and solar panels, along with new carpet, marble floors, and fresh paint, presenting a truly turnkey home.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living: The backyard is designed for entertaining with a sparkling pool, spa, new built-in BBQ, retractable awnings, and lush landscaping, all complemented by golf course views.
Spacious & Versatile Floor Plan: Featuring 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including a main-floor bedroom (currently a den with fireplace and built-ins), a dedicated loft/office, and en-suite bathrooms for all secondary bedrooms, providing exceptional space and flexibility.
Exclusive Community Amenities & Schools: Residents benefit from 24-hour guard-gated security, private community pool/spa, tennis/pickleball courts, sport court, playground, nature trails, and access to award-winning schools.

Cons

Significant Monthly Association Fees: The $320.0 monthly association fee represents a notable recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Potential for Dated Elements: While extensively upgraded, the 1993 construction year means some original structural or design elements may still be present, potentially requiring future updates to fully align with contemporary preferences.
Above Estimated Market Value: The current listing price of $2.25M is approximately 8% higher than the estimated market value of $2.06M, which could impact buyer perception and negotiation strategy.
