More Insights

Built in 1981 (44 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property's interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated.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'.

Versatile Guest House: 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.
Expansive & Usable Lot: 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.
Extensive Vehicle & RV Accommodations: 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.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with solar panels, contributing to reduced energy costs and environmental sustainability.
Prime Location & Outdoor Access: Located in the desirable Desert Knolls area, close to Highway 18, schools, shopping, commuter routes, and near Mojave Narrows Park for outdoor activities.

Cons

Age of Main Home Systems: 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.
Unspecified Cooling System: 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.
Limited Main Home Renovation Details: 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.
