Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1977, this property is well-maintained with several recent functional updates, including new solar panels (2022), new carpet, and a new cook-top and convection oven. The guest bathroom has also been remodeled. However, the kitchen's cabinets, countertops, and fluorescent lighting are significantly dated, and the overall aesthetic, while clean, reflects its age. It is move-in ready but requires minor cosmetic updates to achieve a modern look, particularly in the kitchen.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Golf Course Location: The property is ideally situated directly on the 5th hole of Castle Creek Golf Course, offering desirable views and convenient access to the course.
Significant Energy Efficiency: Equipped with new, high-end solar panels installed in 2022, the home boasts little to no electric bill each month, providing substantial cost savings.
Extensive Natural Views: The back patio and various windows offer panoramic views of the golf course, greenbelt, mountains, canyon, hills, valley, and trees/woods.
Recent Interior Upgrades: Key areas have been updated, including a new cook-top and convection oven, a fully remodeled guest bath with custom exotic granite, and new carpet in the living room and bedrooms.
Abundant Natural Lighting: The oversized living room/great room and numerous windows ensure the home is filled with ample natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1977, the property's underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original and could require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic improvements.
Absence of Existing Pool: Despite having a 'pool sized yard,' the property does not currently feature a pool, meaning potential buyers desiring this amenity would face significant additional investment for installation.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms for a 1936 sqft home, it may not appeal to larger families or buyers requiring additional dedicated rooms (e.g., home office, guest room), potentially narrowing the target market.
