Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1997, making it 27 years old, which aligns with the 'Fair' category's age range. While the kitchen features desirable stainless steel appliances and 'Beautiful Alder cabinets,' and one bathroom has a modern vanity, other elements like the dated light fixtures (e.g., the 'Hollywood' strip in one bathroom) and the overall style of the second bathroom indicate that the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation. It is well-maintained and move-in ready, but shows signs of its age and would benefit from minor updates to achieve a more contemporary feel throughout.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy Access & Level Entry: The property boasts a rare level entry with only two steps to the front door, a significant advantage in a mountain community where steep access is common.
Updated Kitchen: The kitchen features beautiful Alder cabinets and Stainless Steel appliances, offering a modern and functional space for cooking and entertaining.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: An oversized deck provides ample space for extending living and dining outdoors ('Al Fresco'), perfectly positioned to capture gorgeous west-facing sunsets and mountain/tree views.
Appealing Interior Features: The home includes vaulted ceilings in the Great Room with special lighting, a large family room, and a master suite, enhancing its spaciousness and appeal.
Prime Mountain Location: Located in Arrowhead Villas, the property offers an easy commute and close proximity to Lake Arrowhead Village, SkyPark Santa's Village, and Snow Valley Ski Area, making it ideal for recreation.
Cons
Recent Price Adjustment: The property has undergone a price reduction from its original list price, which may suggest it was initially overpriced or has faced challenges in attracting offers.
Absence of Lake Rights: While located in Lake Arrowhead, the description does not mention lake rights, which is a significant amenity for properties in this area and could limit direct lake access for potential buyers.
Age of Property Systems: Built in 1997, the home's major systems (e.g., roof, HVAC, water heater) are approaching 30 years old, potentially indicating future maintenance or replacement costs for a buyer.
