Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1994, this property is 30 years old and shows clear signs of age and deferred cosmetic maintenance. The listing description explicitly states it requires 'the right updates' and 'modernization' to reach its full potential. Images reveal heavily worn and stained carpets, dated tile flooring, and older light fixtures/ceiling fans throughout. While no photos of the main kitchen or bathrooms are provided, the visible powder room is very dated, suggesting these key areas would also require significant renovation. The property is functional but needs substantial cosmetic upgrades to meet current market expectations and styles.
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 = 7841, living area = 1633.
Prime Location & Lifestyle: Situated in one of La Quinta's most desirable neighborhoods, offering convenient access to El Paseo's upscale shopping, dining, entertainment, and scenic hiking trails.
Significant Upside Potential: The property is highlighted for its 'exceptional upside potential' and 'attractive investment opportunity' with strategic updates, suggesting strong future value appreciation.
Customizable Outdoor Space: Features a spacious backyard described as a 'blank canvas,' providing an excellent opportunity for new owners to design and create a personalized outdoor retreat.
Mountain Views: Benefits from desirable mountain views, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and overall living experience.
Excellent School Proximity: Located within a short distance of highly-rated public schools (Elementary, Middle, and High School, all rated 6), making it attractive for families.
Cons
Requires Modernization: The description explicitly states 'With the right updates,' indicating that the property likely needs renovation or modernization to maximize its appeal and value, incurring additional costs.
Undeveloped Backyard: While offering customization, the 'blank canvas' backyard currently lacks amenities and requires significant investment to develop into a functional outdoor living space.
Recent Price Reduction: A $40,000 price drop from the original listing price, coupled with a 'MOTIVATED SELLER' note, suggests the property may have been initially overpriced or has faced challenges in attracting buyers.
