Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1979, the property has undergone significant renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which feature modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated tiling. Laminate flooring and dual-pane windows throughout also contribute to a move-in ready condition. While some light fixtures are a bit dated, the major living spaces are aesthetically current and well-maintained, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: The property offers breathtaking 270° panoramic canyon and hill views from a private estate, providing a serene and picturesque living environment.
Expansive Acreage & Privacy: Situated on a private 3.9-acre estate, the property provides extensive land for privacy, outdoor activities, and potential future development.
Development & Zoning Potential (A70): Zoned A70, the property offers significant flexibility for customization, including the possibility to add an ADU, keep horses, or expand an orchard, enhancing its long-term value.
Flexible Multigenerational Layout: Featuring dual primary suites and multiple living areas, the home is well-suited for multigenerational living or accommodating diverse family needs.
Upgraded Chef's Kitchen: The chef's kitchen, equipped with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, provides a modern and functional space ideal for cooking and entertaining.
Cons
Leased Solar Panels: The property comes with leased solar panels, requiring the buyer to assume the lease, which adds a recurring monthly expense and may impact financing options.
Seller Financial Distress: The listing explicitly states sellers are 'highly motivated' and 'must sell to avoid short sale,' indicating potential financial distress that could lead to a more complex and potentially longer transaction process.
Inconsistent Property Data: There is a discrepancy between the bed/bath count in the description (4BR/3.5BA) and the structured data (3 beds/4 baths), which could cause confusion for prospective buyers and requires clarification.
