Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1990-built residence is in original condition and requires significant cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards. While well-maintained and livable, the kitchen features dated tile countertops, original wood cabinetry, and older white appliances. The interior shows its age through original carpeting, fluorescent light boxes, and 1990s-style fixtures. The property is a classic 'fixer' in a prime location, functional but showing clear signs of being outdated.
Situated on the 16th hole of the PGA Nicklaus Private Course, the property offers rare 180-degree southwest panoramic views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, lakes, and fairways.
The floor plan features a detached casita and a separate golf cart garage, providing excellent potential for a private guest suite, home office, or creative art studio.
With vaulted ceilings, a spacious open-concept living area, and a private interior courtyard, the home's bones offer a perfect canvas for a high-end custom luxury renovation.
As an original 1990 residence, the property requires a comprehensive update of its interior finishes, landscaping, and systems to meet modern luxury standards.
The monthly association fee of over $1,025 represents a substantial ongoing carrying cost that buyers must factor into their overall ownership budget.
