Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1994, making it 30 years old. While the description notes recent system upgrades (AC, water heater, Dacor refrigerator) and it appears well-maintained, the interior images, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, reveal dated styles. The kitchen features honey oak cabinets and granite countertops, and the bathrooms have similar wood vanities and older-style fixtures (e.g., gold-toned faucets). The overall aesthetic, described as 'Early California' architecture, is functional but shows signs of being outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current luxury standards, as also noted in the property analysis.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Immediate Golf Membership: A golf membership is immediately available with the purchase, bypassing the typical waiting list in this premier golf community.
Prime Golf Course Location & Views: The property offers highly sought-after southwestern views overlooking the picturesque 7th hole of the renowned Jones Course.
Extensive Outdoor Entertainment Area: Features an entertainer's paradise with a large loggia, sparkling pool and spa with multiple water features, an outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ, sink, side burner, and an inviting firepit.
Detached Casita & Functional Layout: Includes a detached casita and a thoughtfully designed floor plan with excellent bedroom separation, providing ample space, privacy, and versatility.
Recent System Upgrades & Comprehensive HOA Amenities: Benefits from recent system upgrades (newer AC, water heater, built-in Dacor refrigerator) and comprehensive HOA dues covering 24-hour guard-gated security, front yard landscape, cable/internet, and sports/social membership.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price is substantially higher than the property's estimated value (25% difference), which may require strong justification or deter potential buyers.
Property Age and Potential for Cosmetic Updates: Built in 1994, the property is 30 years old. While systems are upgraded, the 'Early California' architectural style and lack of explicit mention of recent cosmetic interior renovations (beyond a Dacor refrigerator) suggest some interior finishes may be dated and could require further investment to meet modern luxury standards.
High HOA Dues: The monthly HOA dues of $1198.0 are substantial, representing a significant ongoing cost for the homeowner, despite the comprehensive amenities included.
