Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Built in 1980, this property has undergone significant and valuable upgrades to its major systems, including a 15KW solar system, 30KW backup generator, dual AC units, water softener, multi-stage filtration, and dual tankless water heaters, indicating excellent maintenance and modernization. Most bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, granite/marble countertops, and modern glass-enclosed showers, appearing recently updated. The main living areas boast beautiful hardwood flooring. However, the kitchen, while functional and clean, retains a dated aesthetic with light oak cabinets, parquet flooring, and older countertops. One bathroom also features very dated green fixtures and gold accents. Despite these older elements, the extensive system upgrades and updated key areas make the property largely move-in ready and in good overall condition.

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 = 710004, living area = 4344.

  • Exceptional Panoramic Views

  • Vast & Versatile Acreage

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Property Age

    Built in 1980, the primary residence is over four decades old, which may imply an older architectural style or potential for future maintenance needs in areas not explicitly upgraded.

  • High Land Maintenance Commitment

    The extensive 16.3-acre lot, while offering great potential, demands considerable ongoing maintenance and management, which could be a significant undertaking for many buyers.

  • Specialized Buyer Appeal

    The property's unique features, including vast acreage for agricultural/equestrian use and a multi-generational layout, target a niche market, potentially limiting the pool of interested buyers.
