Condition Rating
Good
This property, built in 1973, has undergone significant and recent updates, including granite countertops, newer appliances, and a new AC system, as stated in the description. The images confirm updated kitchens and bathrooms with modern fixtures, neutral tiling, and well-maintained cabinetry. The flooring throughout is primarily large format tile, which is in good condition. While the overall aesthetic leans towards a specific Moroccan-inspired style, the core components are functional, well-maintained, and show minimal wear and tear, making it move-in ready. The extensive renovations to key areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and HVAC system place it firmly within the 'Good' category, indicating it was extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years, despite its original build year.

Cons
Property Age & Potential Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1973, while some updates are noted, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing end-of-life, potentially requiring future investment.
Niche Architectural Style: The 'Moroccan inspired' design, while unique, may appeal to a more specific buyer demographic, potentially limiting the broader market interest and resale velocity.
Location Specificity: Located in Borrego Springs, a desert community, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking urban conveniences or a different climate, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
