Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1985, making it nearly 40 years old. While some areas feature newer laminate flooring, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen has dated tile countertops, older black appliances (and a white, older built-in fridge), and fluorescent box lighting. Bathrooms feature older vanities, strip lighting, and dated tile. Other areas show older carpets, popcorn ceilings, and wallpaper borders. The home appears to be maintained but requires minor updates to modernize its aesthetic and bring it up to current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views: The property boasts stunning views of Mt. Diablo, offering a picturesque and serene living environment.
Income/Flexibility Potential: Includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest apartment or potential ADU, providing significant flexibility for extended family, rental income, or dedicated private space.
Equestrian & Community Amenities: Located within the private, gated Concord Mt. Diablo Trail Riders Association, offering direct access to Mt. Diablo State Park, community pool, clubhouse, riding arenas, and other equestrian facilities, ideal for horse enthusiasts.
Sustainable & Spacious Living: Features owned solar panels for energy efficiency and sits on a nearly one-acre parcel with a massive deck, chicken coop, and horseshoe pit, promoting an outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
Versatile Outbuildings: Includes a large detached garage, workshop, and a separate detached office, adding significant utility, storage, and dedicated workspace options.

Cons

Leasehold Interest Ownership: Ownership is a leasehold interest, not a traditional lease, which can impact financing options, resale value, and may be less desirable for some buyers seeking fee simple ownership.
Potential for Dated Interiors: Built in 1985, the main house description does not explicitly mention recent interior remodels, suggesting some areas might require updates to meet modern aesthetic and functional preferences.
Secluded Location: While offering privacy and a 'mountain' feel, the location within a private gated association may be perceived as somewhat remote, potentially increasing travel time for certain amenities or services despite being less than 10 minutes from town.
