Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1986, is 38 years old and appears well-maintained for its age. While some updates are evident in the bathrooms (e.g., newer vanities and countertops), these are partial and inconsistent, with one bathroom still featuring carpeted flooring and older brass fixtures. The main kitchen is not visible in the provided images, preventing a full assessment of its condition and style. Flooring throughout the home is a mix of carpet and laminate, and light fixtures are generally basic. The home is functional and move-in ready, but it shows signs of being aged and would benefit from more comprehensive, modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to achieve a cohesive contemporary feel. This aligns with the 'fair' condition criteria, indicating it requires minor updates or repairs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Flexible Financing: The availability of a private lender offering a competitive interest rate financing package is a significant advantage, providing unique flexibility for buyers in the current market.
Prime Mountain Location: Situated in the sought-after Fox Farm Division within a breathtaking mountain resort setting, offering proximity to local amenities and a desirable lifestyle.
Ample Living Space: A single-story home featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 2167 sqft, providing a highly functional and spacious layout ideal for families or as a multi-guest vacation property.
Significant Price Reduction: A substantial price improvement from the original list price of $985,000 to $780,000 presents a compelling value opportunity for prospective buyers.
Key Lifestyle Features: Includes highly desirable features such as a pet-friendly fenced yard, a cozy wood-burning stove, and an oversized 2-car attached garage, enhancing comfort and appeal.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1986, the property may require updates to major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) or cosmetic renovations to meet modern buyer expectations, as no recent major renovations are specified.
Undisclosed Interior Condition: While described as 'charming,' the listing lacks specific details regarding the condition or recency of interior finishes and appliances, which could imply a need for further investment.
Extended Market Exposure: The significant price reductions from the original list price suggest the property may have experienced extended market exposure or was initially overpriced, potentially raising buyer questions about its market appeal.
