Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this home is well-maintained but significantly outdated, fitting the 'fair' criteria perfectly. While it features some minor updates like wood-look flooring and plantation shutters, the kitchen remains in a near-original state with dated cabinetry, older built-in appliances, and a fluorescent light-box ceiling. The property is functional and livable but requires comprehensive modernization of the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current market standards.
Situated less than a mile from Old Town Scottsdale, Coronado Golf Course, and Vista del Camino Park, this property offers exceptional access to premier dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation.
The enclosed Arizona room provides a significant extension of the living area, offering a flexible space ideal for a home office, creative studio, or media room.
The absence of a homeowners association allows for greater financial flexibility and freedom from restrictive community rules, a highly desirable feature in this market.
Built in 1961 and marketed as ready for updates, the home will likely require a substantial capital investment to modernize the kitchen, bathrooms, and overall aesthetic.
While the elementary schools are well-rated, the assigned middle and high schools have lower performance ratings, which may impact appeal for families with older children.
