Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1990 (36 years old), the property is dated but well-maintained. The kitchen has received partial updates including granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the exterior features modern Trex decking. However, the bathrooms, wallpaper, and carpeting appear original to the construction date and require modernization. It does not meet the 'Poor' criteria as it lacks structural defects and is move-in ready, but fits 'Fair' due to the age of the primary systems and finishes.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 50529, living area = 5467.
Elementary School: Stone Ranch Elementary School (9/10). High School: Del Norte High School (10/10).
Situated on a 1.16-acre corner lot in the exclusive 'Trails' enclave, this estate offers exceptional privacy and breathtaking panoramic mountain and pool views.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Built in 1990 and marketed as an 'opportunity to create a custom estate,' the interior likely requires significant cosmetic updates to meet modern luxury standards, as evidenced by the use of virtual staging.
The combination of a substantial $858 monthly association fee and the maintenance requirements of a 1.16-acre landscaped lot with a large diving pool represents a significant ongoing financial commitment.
