More Insights
Built in 1993 (32 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1993, making it 31 years old. While the description mentions a 'well appointed kitchen with newer appliances' and the presence of paid solar panels, the visual evidence from the images suggests that the kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with all bathrooms, are dated in style, likely original or renovated 15-25 years ago. The terracotta tile flooring and carpet are clean but not modern. The home appears well-maintained and functional, but the outdated styles in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms indicate it would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2900, other record living area = 2399.
Geographic Isolation: Located in Borrego Springs, a relatively remote desert community, which may limit its appeal to buyers seeking urban conveniences or closer proximity to major services.
Absence of Mentioned Cooling System: In a desert climate like Borrego Springs, the lack of explicit mention of a robust cooling system (e.g., central AC) could be a significant concern for comfort and energy efficiency.
Ongoing Maintenance for Pool & Landscaping: A private pool and a substantial lot size (18,295 sqft) in a desert environment will incur considerable ongoing costs for maintenance, water, and upkeep.
