Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1994 (30 years old) and, while exceptionally well-maintained with fresh paint and move-in ready appeal, the kitchen and bathrooms remain largely original. The oak cabinetry, white tile flooring, and laminate counters are dated and exceed the 20-year threshold for modern updates, fitting the 'Fair' criteria for a home requiring cosmetic modernization.
Situated on the 11th fairway of the Santa Rosa golf course, this property offers rare, southeast-facing panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and multiple fairways.
The Emerald model features impressive 12-foot coffered ceilings, a gated front courtyard, and over 2,100 square feet of living space, creating a luxurious and airy atmosphere.
The home is well-maintained with fresh interior paint, plantation shutters throughout, and a functional 2-car plus golf cart garage, facilitating an easy transition for buyers.
Built in 1994, the home likely retains original cabinetry and fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms, which may require modernization to meet current luxury standards.
Despite the large square footage, the layout only provides two dedicated bedrooms, which may limit appeal for buyers needing additional guest rooms or family space.
