Condition Rating
Fair
This property, built in 1986, is meticulously maintained with high-quality materials like Beaumaniere limestone and solid oak flooring. While the description notes it's 'thoughtfully updated' and includes a 'newly renovated, attached casita,' the majority of the main house's interior, including the primary bathroom and some flooring (parquet), exhibits a luxurious but stylistically dated aesthetic. The kitchen features good quality stainless steel appliances but traditional cabinetry. Overall, the home is in excellent functional condition with no immediate repairs needed, but many elements show signs of being outdated, requiring minor cosmetic updates to align with current design trends, placing it in the 'Fair' category rather than 'Good' which implies more recent, comprehensive renovations throughout.
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 = 30492, living area = 6251.
Prime Location & Panoramic Views: Situated in the prestigious Thunderbird Country Club, this estate offers expansive and panoramic views across five pristine fairways and majestic mountains, a highly desirable feature.
Architectural Design & Quality Construction: Thoughtfully designed by a noted architect, the home boasts enduring solid block construction and high-end finishes such as Beaumaniere limestone and solid oak flooring, signifying superior craftsmanship.
Extensive Living & Entertaining Spaces: With over 6,250 sq. ft. of spacious, open living areas and a 1,200 sq. ft. covered outdoor living space, the property is perfectly suited for grand entertaining and comfortable family living.
Luxurious Primary Suite & Guest Accommodations: The primary suite is a true sanctuary featuring a fireplace, generous sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath, complemented by a newly renovated, attached casita for guests.
High-End Finishes & Features: Interiors exude timeless elegance with towering wood-beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces (5), a wet bar, and refined finishes throughout, enhancing its luxury appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Property Age: Built in 1986, the property is nearly 40 years old. While updated, potential buyers may scrutinize the condition of original systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as renovated.
High Ongoing Costs: The $800.0 association fee, combined with the substantial size of the home (6,251 sq. ft.) and lot (30,492 sq. ft.), indicates significant ongoing maintenance, utility, and club membership expenses.
Potential for Dated Elements: Despite descriptions of 'timeless elegance,' the 1986 construction year and specific features like 'towering wood-beamed ceilings' might present design elements that could be considered less contemporary by some modern buyers.
