Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1984, this property is a well-preserved example of original desert design but requires modernization. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry, mirrored backsplashes, and older black appliances. While the home is clean and functional with intact tile flooring and shutters, the overall aesthetic—including the sunken bar and original bathroom styles—is over 40 years old without significant recent renovations, placing it squarely in the 'Fair' category.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Southern Exposure

    The property features a highly desirable south-facing orientation on an interior lot, providing optimal natural light and warmth throughout the living spaces and patio.

  • Exceptional Scenic Views

    Residents can enjoy expansive, picturesque views of the golf course, water features, and mountains from the enlarged rear patio and morning room.

  • Significant Renovation Upside

    With over 2,700 square feet and original finishes, this home presents a rare opportunity for investors or end-users to modernize and create substantial equity.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Dated Interior Condition

    The home retains its original 1984 finishes and aesthetic, necessitating a comprehensive remodel to meet the expectations of modern luxury buyers.

  • High Carrying Costs

    The monthly association fee of $1,877 is significant and may be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers or those looking for lower-overhead investments.

  • Maintenance & Modernization Costs

    Updating a property of this size with vintage features like sunken bars and older tile work can lead to higher-than-average renovation expenses and structural considerations.
