Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, the property is well-maintained but shows clear signs of its age with dated interior finishes. The kitchen features older cabinetry and laminate flooring, while the living areas and bedrooms utilize wall-to-wall carpeting that reflects a previous era of design. While functional and move-in ready with some practical upgrades like an endless hot water heater, the home lacks the comprehensive modern renovations required for a higher rating.
The hilltop position offers picturesque, unobstructed views of Gold Mountain and the surrounding forest, providing a quintessential mountain atmosphere from the wrap-around porch.
Boasting nearly 2,400 sq ft of single-level living, the home includes a heated game room/bunk house that functions as a fourth bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for large families or guests.
The spacious 9,009 sq ft lot is fully fenced and gated, featuring a covered gazebo, gas fire pit, and a separate work shed, creating a premium space for outdoor entertaining.
With a 1984 build date and features like wall-to-wall carpeting and laminate counters, the interior may require cosmetic modernization to meet current market trends.
The listing explicitly advises buyers to verify square footage and permitted areas, which may indicate that the game room conversion or total living area lacks official documentation.
