More Insights

Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, has undergone significant 'recent upgrades' as stated in the description, including new appliances, a newer electrical panel, fresh paint, updated tile and carpet, baseboards, doors, and heaters. The images confirm these updates, showcasing two distinct living spaces, both with updated kitchens and bathrooms. The lower-level kitchen and bathroom appear fully renovated with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary fixtures. The upper-level kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, though the cabinets are an older wood style. All flooring appears new or recently updated, and the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
Property Age: Constructed in 1979, the home is over four decades old, suggesting potential for original core systems (e.g., plumbing, roof structure) that may require future inspection or maintenance despite recent updates.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description only mentions heating systems (propane and electric heaters), indicating a lack of central cooling, which could be a comfort concern during warmer seasons.
Mountain Environment Considerations: As a 'mountain home' with 'treetop views,' the property may entail specific maintenance requirements related to wildfire prevention, tree management, or managing a sloped terrain.
