Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 2007 (17 years old), falls squarely within the 'Good' category's age range (10-20 years). The description highlights 'unparalleled luxury living,' 'meticulously designed' interiors with high-end travertine flooring, crown molding, and custom lighting. The chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry, all appearing in excellent condition. The luxurious master bath includes a Jacuzzi tub and steam sauna. While the kitchen and bathroom styles (dark wood cabinetry, granite) are consistent with a high-end 2007 build rather than a very recent renovation, they are impeccably maintained and require no immediate updates. The property is move-in ready with all major systems, including 3 A/C units, functional and well-maintained, showing minimal wear and tear.

Cons

High List Price Relative to Market & Comps: The current list price of $3.2M is significantly above the estimated value ($2.58M) and higher than a recently sold comparable property (PW25153361) with an ADU and pool that sold for $2.825M, suggesting it may be overpriced.
Lack of a Swimming Pool: Despite being a luxury estate in a warm climate, the property does not feature a swimming pool, which is a common expectation and amenity in this price range and among comparable properties.
High Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $530.0 adds a significant recurring cost to ownership, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
