Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989, this property shows its age with largely original or very dated interior finishes. The kitchen features tiled countertops, older-style cabinets with wood trim, and black appliances that are functional but not modern. The bathrooms are particularly dated with carpeted floors, 80s/90s fixtures, and gold-toned accents. While the property appears well-maintained and includes a modern upgrade of owned solar panels, the overall aesthetic and components like flooring (worn carpet), light fixtures (dated ceiling fans, fluorescent box lights), and built-in features (mirrored wet bar) indicate a need for substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It is functional but clearly outdated, fitting the 'fair' category.
The property offers wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and features majestic backyard patios, ideal for outdoor enjoyment and relaxation.
Equipped with 20 owned solar panels, this unit provides significant energy savings and contributes to a lower environmental footprint.
As an elevated end unit, the property offers superior privacy compared to adjacent neighboring units, enhancing the living experience.
The $876.0 association fee represents a significant recurring monthly expense, which could impact overall affordability and budget.
A recent price reduction from $315,000 to $295,000 may indicate market resistance or initial overpricing, potentially affecting perceived value.
The property's location in a 'low desert unincorporated area' and 'miles away from the nearest stoplight' suggests a remote setting, potentially limiting immediate access to urban amenities and increasing travel times.

End unit elevated above the adjacent neighboring unit for more privacy. High ceilings, breakfast nook, and dining room with build in cabinets and 3 arched windows above the room.
