Built in 2001 (25 years old).
Condition: Built in 2001, this property is exceptionally well-maintained, featuring recently painted interior and exterior, dual A/C, and a full-house generator. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances like a stainless steel refrigerator, range, and wine fridge, with traditional wood cabinetry and granite countertops that are clean and functional.

While the style of the kitchen and bathrooms reflects the home's age and a mountain aesthetic rather than a recent modern renovation, all components are in excellent condition, move-in ready, and require no immediate updates.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3500, other record living area = 2542. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2800, living area = 3500.
Compact Lot Size: The 2,800 sq ft lot is relatively small for a 3,500 sq ft luxury home in a mountain/lake setting, potentially limiting expansive outdoor living space or privacy.
Ongoing Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $288 adds a recurring cost to homeownership, which potential buyers will need to factor into their budget.
Premium Price Point: Listed at $1.85 million, the property's high price point may appeal to a more limited pool of luxury buyers, despite the extensive inclusions and prime location.
