Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1991, is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, boasting numerous luxury amenities like an indoor pool, spa, and smart home technology. While the kitchen features high-quality materials such as dark wood cabinetry and granite countertops, its style appears to be from a renovation approximately 15-20 years ago, making it functional and well-preserved but not reflective of current design trends. The absence of bathroom images prevents a direct assessment, but the overall condition and continuous upkeep, including recent technological updates, indicate a property in very good functional order, even if some aesthetic elements are dated. It does not require immediate renovations or repairs, aligning with the 'Good' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Abundant Luxury & Recreational Facilities: Features an indoor pool with a rock waterfall, dry spa/sauna, full-sized basketball court, and sand volleyball, offering unparalleled leisure and entertainment options.
Vast Living Space & High Capacity: A substantial 7,236 sqft estate with 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, including dedicated guest quarters and a private elevator, ideal for large groups or multi-family use.

Modern Technology & Enhanced Privacy: Equipped with smart home technology, a gated entrance, and four private garages, ensuring convenience, security, and exclusivity.

Cons

Recent Price Adjustment: A reduction from the original list price of $4.2M to $3.9M suggests potential initial overvaluation or market challenges that required a price correction.
Discrepancy Verification Required: The listing explicitly states 'Buyer to verify bedrooms/bathrooms counts, square footage,' which introduces an element of uncertainty and potential for future discrepancies.
Subpar Local School Ratings: The elementary and middle schools serving the area have relatively low ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing public education.
