Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition with significant recent cosmetic updates including brand new wood flooring, carpet, and fresh paint. The chef's kitchen is well-appointed with high-end professional Wolf appliances and a wine refrigerator. While the home was built in 2001, it has been exceptionally well-maintained with modern infrastructure upgrades such as a 42-panel paid solar system and a whole-home water filtration system. The outdoor amenities, including the new artificial turf sports field and resort-style BBQ island, further elevate the property's quality, though it falls short of the 'excellent' rating as it has not undergone a full-scale interior renovation within the last 5 years.

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 = 112820, living area = 4590.

  • Resort-Style Outdoor Living

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Price Appreciation
