Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1989, has seen significant recent upgrades to major systems including a brand new AC system, water heater, gas furnace, and pool pump, along with a paid-off solar system. These mechanical updates are excellent. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, features dated honey oak cabinets, dark countertops, mixed appliance finishes (stainless steel and black), and an outdated fluorescent ceiling light fixture. While some flooring has been updated to wood-look tile, other areas still have carpet, and the listing description explicitly mentions that a new homeowner may want to update paint and flooring to their preferred style. Without bathroom images, it's reasonable to assume they align with the kitchen's dated aesthetic. These cosmetic elements, especially in the kitchen, require substantial updates to meet current standards, placing the overall condition in the 'Fair' category despite the robust mechanical improvements.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Features a fully paid-off 28-panel solar system, new energy-saver variable speed pool pump, new gas furnace, whole house fan, and an EV Plug-in-Ready Outlet in the garage, significantly reducing utility costs and appealing to eco-conscious buyers.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Entertainment: Boasts an Olympic-sized pool, covered patio with ceiling fan and misting system, BBQ area with sink, and fruit trees, creating an ideal environment for relaxation and hosting large gatherings.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Includes a brand new AC system and water heater (installed Oct 2025), along with a new gas furnace, ensuring modern comfort and minimizing immediate maintenance concerns for critical home systems.
Financial Advantages & Low Ownership Costs: Benefits from low property taxes, no Mello Roos, and no HOA fees, contributing to significantly lower monthly ownership expenses compared to many other properties.
Versatile Layout & Family-Friendly Location: Offers a practical 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom downstairs, ideal for guests or a home office, situated in a highly sought-after, safe, and family-friendly neighborhood known for its top-rated schools.

Cons

Dated Interior Finishes: The description suggests the new homeowner may need to update paint and flooring to their preferred style, indicating potential immediate cosmetic renovation costs.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $673,000 is higher than the property's estimated value of $637,509.30, which could impact market appeal and negotiation leverage.
Age of Structure: Built in 1989, while major systems are new, other components of the home (e.g., roof, windows, original plumbing/electrical beyond recent updates) may be older and could require future attention or replacement.
