Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1981, this property's interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features original-style dark wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances. Bathrooms also have dated vanities, fixtures, and tile. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, it requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern aesthetic standards. It does not, however, present major defects affecting safety or structural integrity that would classify it as 'poor'.
Features a separate 576 sq. ft. guest house with a half bath, offering flexible use as an office, art studio, or accommodation for extended family/guests.
Situated on a beautiful 0.92-acre corner lot with horse zoning and cross-fencing, appealing to equestrian enthusiasts or those desiring ample outdoor space.
Includes a circular driveway, attached 2-car garage with side driveway, covered RV carport with hookups, and multiple RV gates, ideal for multiple vehicles and recreational toys.
Built in 1981, the main home's core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and some interior finishes may be original or dated, potentially requiring future updates or maintenance.
In Apple Valley's desert climate, the description mentions a fireplace but does not specify a modern cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a significant consideration for buyers.
While the guest house has tile flooring, the main home's description is less specific about recent interior renovations beyond an 'open kitchen,' suggesting some areas might retain their original 1981 aesthetic.
