Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it reflects its 1980 construction date with mostly cosmetic updates rather than a full renovation. While the living area features an updated stacker stone fireplace and the water heater is new (2025), the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with older white appliances, basic cabinetry, and vintage fixtures. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged home kept in good condition through regular maintenance but lacking the modern high-end finishes required for a higher rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Resort-Style Amenities
Located within the Chaparral Country Club, the property offers an elite lifestyle with access to an 18-hole executive golf course, 12 pickleball courts, tennis, a fitness center, and 24-hour guard-gated security.
