Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1971, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows its age through vintage kitchen cabinetry, older tile countertops, and dated bathroom fixtures. While it features some modern updates such as a new stainless-steel dishwasher, newer refrigerator, and Trex decking, the overall interior style and systems (like the swamp cooler) reflect a home that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a comprehensive modern renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7500, living area = 1072.
The detached 2-car garage already features gas and water lines, providing a significant head start for a potential Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion to increase property value or rental income.
Both bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms, a rare and highly functional feature for a 1,072-square-foot mountain home that maximizes privacy for guests or residents.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
While well-maintained, the 1971 construction includes vintage cabinetry and older stylistic choices that may require additional modernization to meet contemporary buyer preferences.
The property utilizes a swamp cooler rather than a central HVAC cooling system, which may be less effective during peak summer heat compared to modern air conditioning.
