Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1992, this property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a new saltwater pool and spa installed in 2023, and two new energy-efficient A/C units. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets, solid surface countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (microwave, double wall oven, induction cooktop), making it functional and aesthetically pleasing, likely updated within the last 5-15 years. The primary closet/dressing area also appears recently updated with modern built-ins. While the Saltillo tile flooring throughout much of the home and the traditional style of the primary bathroom (with a clawfoot tub) reflect its original era or a specific aesthetic choice rather than a full modern renovation, the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear. It does not qualify as 'Excellent' due to some remaining older stylistic elements and the age of the original construction, but the substantial recent improvements elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

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 = 131116, living area = 3735.
Exceptional Views & Natural Setting: The property boasts panoramic mountain and city views, scenic vistas, and is nestled within beautiful natural surroundings, offering a serene and picturesque living experience.
Luxury Outdoor Amenities: Features a custom salt-water pool and spa installed in 2023, complemented by a pool house with a mini kitchen, creating an ideal environment for outdoor living and entertaining.
Exclusive Gated Community & Privacy: Located in Royal Carrizo, a privately gated community with only 22 homesites, ensuring quiet, private living without isolation, yet minutes from Desert Cities.
Extensive Parking & Garage Capacity: Offers a gated motor court with a circular driveway for multi-vehicle parking, alongside an oversized 4-car garage, providing ample space for vehicles and storage.
Distinctive Interior Features & Recent System Upgrades: Showcases a soaring wood beam ceiling, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, Saltillo tile and hardwood floors, a dedicated office, and two new energy-efficient A/C units.

Cons

High Price Point: With a list price of $2.395 million, the property targets a niche luxury market, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers.
Remote Location: While offering privacy, its Mountain Center location, though near Desert Cities, may be perceived as remote by some buyers seeking closer proximity to extensive urban amenities and services.
Potential for Further Updates: Built in 1992, despite recent upgrades like the pool and A/C, other original components or stylistic elements (e.g., kitchen/bath aesthetics, other systems) may eventually require modernization to meet contemporary luxury standards.
