Condition Rating
Poor

The property, built in 1973, is over 50 years old. While the listing states it's 'move-in ready' and has recent termite and septic certifications, the visual evidence from the images indicates a severely outdated interior, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features old white appliances, dated flat-panel cabinets, laminate countertops, and hexagonal tiled flooring from the 70s/80s. The bathrooms exhibit very dated patterned floor and wall tiles, old vanities, and standard tub/shower enclosures. Other areas have dated parquet flooring, drop ceilings, and older light fixtures. These elements suggest that the last significant aesthetic updates occurred 30-50 years ago, aligning with the 'Poor' category's renovation timeframe. Although functional, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current quality and style standards, especially in the key areas of the kitchen and bathrooms.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in the desirable 'lower Pine-Cove' within an established, snow-plowed neighborhood, offering mountain living with quick 5-minute access to town and hiking trails.
Move-in Ready Condition: The property comes with completed Termite and Septic Certifications, ensuring a smooth and immediate occupancy for the new owner.
Excellent Outdoor Living & Expansion Potential: Features a large lot with potential for a garage, complemented by a wraparound front deck and a private rear patio perfect for entertaining and relaxation.
Inviting Interior Design: Boasts an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a grand chandelier, and abundant natural light, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
Recent Price Adjustment: Benefits from a recent price reduction from $386,000 to $382,000, signaling seller motivation and potentially offering a more attractive entry point for buyers.

Cons

Significant Discrepancy in Estimated Value: The current listing price of $382,000 is considerably higher than the property's estimated market value of $305,803.97, potentially indicating an overvaluation or requiring strong justification for the premium.
Limited Bathroom Facilities: The property offers only 1.5 bathrooms for three bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families or those who frequently host guests, impacting daily convenience.
Age of Construction: Built in 1973, the home is over 50 years old. While described as well-insulated and low-maintenance, potential buyers might anticipate future expenses for updating older systems or components not explicitly mentioned as recently renovated.
