Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1962, this property features high-quality, custom materials like terrazzo flooring and marble countertops, and is well-maintained with a modern addition of solar panels. However, the overall aesthetic, particularly in the bathrooms (sunken tubs, round showers, gold-plated fixtures, and wallpaper) and the ornate bar area, is significantly dated. While the kitchen has stainless appliances, the lack of comprehensive images and the home's consistent traditional/Mid-Century blend suggest it likely aligns with the older custom style. The property is functional and move-in ready, but requires substantial cosmetic updates to modernize and appeal to current buyer preferences, fitting the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Golf Course Views: Directly overlooks Recreation Park golf course, offering desirable views from multiple rooms and a large private balcony, enhancing the property's appeal and lifestyle.
Expansive & Versatile Living Space: Boasts over 5000 sq. ft. of custom-built living area on an oversized 11,000+ sq. ft. lot, including a separate 5th bedroom/bathroom studio with private access, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rental income.
Luxurious & Unique Finishes: Features high-end materials such as terrazzo flooring, marble countertops, two marble fireplaces, and gold-plated doorknobs, blending Mid-Century Modern with traditional elegance for a distinctive aesthetic.
Exceptional Outdoor Entertainment: A large patio area with a pool, dedicated entertainment room with wine storage, and a built-in brick barbecue creates an ideal and comprehensive setting for hosting and relaxation.
Modern Energy Efficiency: Equipped with solar panels, providing a significant modern upgrade that contributes to reduced utility costs and environmental benefits.

Cons

Specific Aesthetic & Potential for Updates: While featuring custom and luxurious finishes, the blend of Mid-Century Modern and traditional elegance, along with specific details like gold-plated doorknobs and numerous white columns, may cater to a niche taste and could require further modernization for broader market appeal.
Significant Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original list price of $2.575M to the current $2.319M suggest the property may be perceived as overpriced by the market or has faced challenges in attracting buyers at its previous price points.
High Maintenance & Operating Costs: The expansive size (5000+ sq. ft.), large lot with a pool, and numerous custom features imply potentially high ongoing maintenance, utility, and insurance costs for a prospective buyer.
