Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and features significant recent updates including new stainless steel appliances, modern laminate flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a newer electrical panel. While the 1979 structure and upper-level kitchen cabinetry show some age, the overall condition is well-maintained with updated systems and finishes that meet current market expectations for a mountain home.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Income Potential & Versatility

    Zoned R-3A with a dual-level layout featuring separate entrances and full kitchens on both floors, this property is ideal for short-term rentals, multi-generational living, or a primary residence with a mortgage helper.

  • Extensive Recent Upgrades

    The home boasts significant recent improvements including a newer electrical panel, updated appliances, fresh paint, and new flooring, reducing immediate capital expenditure for the buyer.

  • Architectural Aesthetic

    The upper level features soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and clerestory windows that flood the open-concept living space with natural light and highlight the serene treetop views.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • 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.

  • Heating & Cooling Limitations

    The property relies on a wood stove, propane, and electric heaters rather than a centralized HVAC system, which may be less efficient for climate control during extreme seasonal shifts.

  • Modest Lot Size

    At under 7,000 square feet, the lot is relatively small for a mountain property, which may limit outdoor privacy and space for expansion or large-scale landscaping.
