Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a comprehensive, ground-up renovation within the last year, featuring high-end designer finishes including quartzite waterfall countertops, Thermador appliances, and wide-plank Spanish oak flooring. All major systems are new, including the HVAC and owned solar, and the bathrooms have been fully modernized with premium tile and fixtures, meeting the criteria for a recently fully renovated, turnkey estate.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 220413, living area = 2953.
- Comprehensive Turnkey Renovation
The estate has been fully reimagined from the ground up with new systems, high-end surfaces, and designer finishes, offering a move-in-ready experience without the need for immediate capital expenditure.
- Gourmet Chef's Kitchen
The kitchen serves as a luxury centerpiece featuring quartzite countertops, premium Thermador appliances, a built-in Bosch espresso machine, and a seamless flow into the vaulted great room.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Price Per Square Foot
With a list price exceeding $3 million for under 3,000 square feet of living space, the property carries a high price-per-foot premium that may challenge appraisal values.
- Significant Recent Price Appreciation
The property sold for $2.15M in early 2024; the rapid markup to over $3M, despite renovations, may lead to increased buyer scrutiny regarding the total value added.
- Acreage Maintenance Requirements
While the 5-acre flat lot offers great potential, it requires significant ongoing maintenance and land management that may be a burden for buyers not seeking an active agricultural lifestyle.
