Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1979, this property is explicitly described as a 'HANDYMAN SPECIAL!' and a 'fixer upper needs TLC.' The images confirm this, showing a severely dated kitchen with stone tile countertops and worn cabinets, and an equally outdated bathroom. The exterior features a weathered wooden deck/staircase with peeling paint and a non-working above-ground pool, indicating significant deferred maintenance. While not a tear-down, it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring it to modern standards and ensure comfort and safety.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Mountain Views: The property offers stunning panoramic views of the Majestic Santa Rosa Mountain Range, desert cities, canyons, and valleys, providing a highly desirable and picturesque setting.
Expansive Lot & Equestrian Potential: Situated on a generous 1-acre lot (43,560 sqft) with existing horse stalls, this property offers significant outdoor space and unique appeal for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking privacy and room to expand.
Spacious Layout & Functional Rooms: The 2,280 sqft 2-story farmhouse features 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths, a den/family room, and an open floor plan designed for entertaining, providing ample living space.
Three-Car Garage: The inclusion of a 3-car garage provides valuable utility for vehicle storage, a workshop, or additional storage, a significant asset for any homeowner.
Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as a 'handyman special' and 'fixer upper,' this property presents a significant opportunity for buyers to customize, renovate, and build substantial equity through improvements.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is a 'fixer upper' and 'needs TLC,' indicating that it requires significant investment in repairs, updates, and renovations to bring it to modern standards.
Non-Functional Pool: The 'above ground pool (not working)' is a clear defect that will require repair, replacement, or removal, adding to the buyer's immediate costs and effort.
Dated Condition: Built in 1979, the property's age, combined with its 'fixer upper' status, suggests that many systems, finishes, and features are likely outdated and will require modernization.
