Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 2001, benefits significantly from recent upgrades within the last 2-3 years, including a replaced HVAC system, new carpet, new interior paint, new microwave, and new refrigerator/freezer. These updates ensure major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan, making the home move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. While the kitchen features Corian countertops and light wood cabinets, and the bathrooms have standard fixtures, their condition is clean and well-maintained, aligning with a 'good' rating rather than 'excellent' due to the aesthetic not being fully modernized to current high-end standards.

Recent Major Upgrades: The home has benefited from significant recent upgrades within the last 2-3 years, including a replaced air conditioning system, new carpet, interior paint, laundry room cabinets, microwave oven, and refrigerator/freezer, reducing immediate maintenance and renovation costs for a new owner.
Spacious and Versatile Floor Plan: This large 2174 sqft 'St. Croix' model features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a great room layout, and a flexible third bedroom that can serve as a den/office with an attached retreat/hobby room, providing adaptable living spaces.
Practical & Low-Maintenance Features: The property includes an oversized two-car garage with additional golf cart parking, low-maintenance landscaping with an irrigation system, and a fenced backyard with a covered patio, enhancing convenience and outdoor living.
Quiet Street Location: Located on a quiet street within the community, the home offers a peaceful and desirable residential environment.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current listing price of $615,000 is substantially higher than the provided property estimation value of $299,233.01 (an estimation ratio of -51%), suggesting a potential overpricing relative to automated valuations.
High Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $431.50 is a considerable ongoing cost, which may impact the overall affordability and appeal for some prospective buyers, despite the extensive amenities it covers.
Absence of Premium Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a competitive disadvantage in a community like Sun City Palm Desert where mountain or golf course views often command a premium and are sought after by buyers.
