Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1991 (33 years old) and appearing in mostly original condition, the property meets the 'Poor' criteria due to age and the need for a full interior rehab. While the exterior and windows have been maintained, the interior photos show heavily soiled/worn carpeting and original 1990s bathrooms with dated gold-tone fixtures and laminate cabinetry that have exceeded their functional lifespan.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13695, living area = 3346.
The property showcases sweeping mountain and hillside views through upgraded windows and plantation shutters, complemented by soaring ceilings and a unique multi-level design that maximizes natural light.
A private-entry 419 sq. ft. studio with a kitchenette and full bath provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, a home office, or guest accommodations.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =13695, other record lot size in square feet = 355.
The 419 sq. ft. studio is explicitly noted as not permitted and is not separately metered, which may present challenges for financing or future legal compliance.
