More Insights
Built in 2003 (22 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2003, is in excellent, move-in ready condition with significant recent updates. The kitchen has been extensively renovated with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary lighting, appearing virtually new. The primary bathroom also features updated fixtures, including a replaced tub and shower with custom features. While these key areas are of excellent quality, some other elements, such as the traditional vanity in one bathroom and laminate flooring in certain rooms, suggest that not every component of the 21-year-old home has been renovated to the same 'virtually new' standard within the last five years. However, the property is very well-maintained, clean, and requires no immediate renovations, aligning well with the 'Good' score criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Alamos Elementary School (9/10). High School: Chaparral High School (9/10).
Versatile Living & Income Potential: Features a separate casita with an outside entrance, offering significant flexibility for multi-generational living, a furnished rental, B&B use, or a 1031 exchange, enhancing its appeal to various buyer types.
Exceptional Views & Outdoor Amenities: Boasts extensive views including mountains, city lights, sunsets, canyon, park/greenbelt, and golf course, complemented by a covered back patio and front patio for outdoor enjoyment.
Modern & Upgraded Interior: Showcases a replaced gourmet kitchen with wall-to-wall cabinets, a work island with quartz countertops, updated bathrooms (including a primary bath with custom dry/wet seats), high ceilings, and quality flooring (porcelain, tile, laminate), along with custom finishes like shutters and stained glass.
Financial Advantages: Benefits from a lower tax rate and no Homeowners Association (HOA) fees, significantly reducing the ongoing cost of ownership and increasing its attractiveness.
Flexible & Spacious Floor Plan: Offers 2809 sq ft with flexible spaces such as an extra office/bedroom, a den/bedroom option, separate laundry room, and multiple living areas (family room, living room, formal dining/game room), accommodating diverse lifestyle needs.
Cons
Inconsistent Bedroom/Bathroom Count: The property description states '4 bedrooms and three baths' and implies a 3 bed/2 bath main house plus a casita, while the structured data lists 3 beds and 2 baths, which could cause confusion for potential buyers.
Recent Price Reductions: The listing history shows multiple price reductions from the original list price, which may suggest initial overpricing or extended market time, potentially signaling a motivated seller.
Lack of Upgrade Specifics: While many areas are described as 'replaced' or 'updated' (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms), the description does not specify the exact dates of these upgrades or the age/brands of appliances, which could raise questions about their remaining lifespan.
