Condition: Built in 1970, this hacienda-style estate is exceptionally well-maintained and boasts significant amenities like solar panels, a guest house, and an entertainment pavilion. However, while functional, the main house's kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but the cabinet style with open shelving is not contemporary. The bathroom, with its dark wood paneling, dated mirror, and fluorescent lighting, would likely require updates to meet modern buyer preferences. The property is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, fitting the 'Fair' category as it requires minor updates or repairs to modernize key interior spaces.
