Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 2000, making it 24 years old. While it appears to be exceptionally well-maintained and clean, as suggested by the 'owner built home' description and the images, the kitchen and bathroom styles are dated. The kitchen features white appliances, natural wood cabinetry, and gray countertops, which were common for its build era but are not contemporary. The master bathroom shows a glass block shower, also a dated feature. The flooring is a mix of tile and carpet, typical for the period. The home is functional and move-in ready, but would benefit from cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning it with the 'fair' condition category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12632, living area = 1600.
Exceptional Community Amenities & Value: Located in MLCC, a golfing community offering unlimited golf for two on title with low HOAs, plus access to pools, spas, sports courts, a pro shop, restaurant, and fitness room, providing a resort-like lifestyle.
Significant Energy Savings: A leased solar system is in place, resulting in very low electricity bills, which is a substantial financial benefit, especially in a warm climate.
Generous Lot Size: The property sits on over 12,000 sq ft (12,632 sq ft), offering ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for further landscaping or outdoor living enhancements.
Owner-Built Quality & Care: Described as a 'very nice owner built home,' suggesting a higher standard of construction and meticulous maintenance over the years.
Practical & Desirable Features: Includes a double garage with an attached cart garage (ideal for a golf community), inside laundry, a large master walk-in closet, dual sink vanity, and mountain views.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1600, other record living area = 1428.
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-03-10. The sold price is $290,000.00.
Unspecified Cooling System: The property description does not mention the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which is a critical amenity and potential costly addition in Desert Hot Springs' climate.
Leased Solar System: While providing low bills, the solar system is leased, meaning the buyer inherits a contractual obligation rather than owning the asset outright, which some buyers may prefer to avoid.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: The assigned middle and high schools (Painted Hills Middle School and Desert Hot Springs High School) have lower ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which could be a deterrent for families prioritizing public education.
