Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with significant updates that elevate it above the 'fair' category despite its 1999 build date. The kitchen has been modernized with slab granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the bathrooms feature updated custom tile work and quartz vanities. The home shows pride of ownership with uniform tile flooring, plantation shutters, and recessed lighting throughout, though the original cabinetry and age of major systems prevent an 'excellent' rating.
The inclusion of a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom casita provides exceptional versatility for guest privacy, a home office, or a dedicated hobby space, a highly desirable feature in the Sun City community.
The property sits on an elevated, east-facing lot that rises above neighboring homes, offering enhanced privacy, better airflow, and an open feel that is rare for the subdivision.
The home is move-in ready with high-end updates including slab granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, plantation shutters, and uniform tile flooring throughout the main living areas.
Built in 1999, the property may soon require updates to major systems such as the HVAC or roof if they have not been recently replaced, representing potential future capital expenditures.
At 5,663 square feet, the lot is relatively modest for a four-bedroom residence, which may limit outdoor expansion or extensive landscaping projects for buyers seeking more yard space.
