Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1973, this property showcases well-preserved Mid-Century Modern architecture in its main living areas, featuring beautiful wood finishes, soaring ceilings, and large windows. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, appearing to be original or from a very early renovation (30-50+ years ago). The kitchen has older appliances (except for a modern fridge), dated cabinetry, and countertops. The bathrooms feature original-style vanities, lighting, and tile work that require substantial modernization. While the overall structure and aesthetic of the main living spaces are maintained, the critical functional areas would necessitate a major renovation to meet current standards and buyer expectations for a luxury property, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria for requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation of major components.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1973, while architecturally significant, the property may require updates to core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) to meet modern efficiency standards or buyer expectations, despite its aesthetic integrity.
Niche Market Appeal: The extensive equestrian infrastructure caters to a very specific buyer demographic, which could limit the pool of potential purchasers and potentially extend the property's time on the market.
High Price Point: The nearly $7 million list price places it in a highly competitive luxury market segment, naturally attracting a smaller pool of qualified buyers and potentially requiring a longer sales cycle.
