Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this property fits the 'fair' criteria as it is over 20 years old and shows signs of being outdated despite regular upkeep. While the kitchen features granite countertops and the master bedroom has updated wood flooring, the presence of original Saltillo tile throughout and older bathroom fixtures indicates the home has not undergone a full modern renovation. The property appears well-maintained and move-in ready, but the overall aesthetic and age of the structure suggest that major systems may be nearing the end of their expected lifespan.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10359, living area = 2412.
The property features a private backyard oasis with a sparkling pool and a unique climate-controlled enclosed patio, providing year-round functional living space for entertaining.
The desirable split master suite floor plan offers enhanced privacy, while the rare three-car garage provides ample storage and parking, which is a significant value-add for the area.
With a 1988 build date and features like Saltillo tile, the home's aesthetic may feel dated to modern buyers, likely requiring cosmetic updates to achieve a contemporary look.
Given the home's age, buyers should anticipate potential upcoming expenses for the maintenance or replacement of major systems and components that may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
Experience timeless desert charm in this inviting single-level home featuring a three-car garage, Saltillo tile, large windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room connects to a bright eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and access to an enclosed, climate-controlled patio, perfect as a bonus space. The split master suite offers privacy and warm wood flooring. Step outside to a backyard oasis with a sparkling pool and outdoor entertaining area, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests.
