Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1991, is well-maintained with recent major system updates (HVAC 2020, water heater 2023).

The great room space is currently set up as a living and formal dining area. Views through the windows on the east facing walls of the kitchen, in-kitchen dining area and family room create sight lines between the interior and backyard ideal for transitions between indoor and outdoor entertaining. The double doors off the family room lead to a serene backyard that is tastefully landscaped to accommodate outdoor seating as well as a grassy area to the side. The remainder of the downstairs features an interior laundry room with utility sink, guest bathroom with step in shower and a bonus room that is currently staged as a bedroom. A spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling, ensuite and large walk-in closet awaits upstairs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views: The property offers panoramic hillside and mountain views from multiple key areas including the kitchen, family room, backyard, and primary bedroom, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Premium Gated Community & Privacy: Located in the prestigious, 24-hour guard-gated Dove Canyon, at the end of a cul-de-sac with no rear neighbors and only one side neighbor, ensuring high security and privacy.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from exclusive Dove Canyon amenities such as tennis courts, pickleball courts, a Jr. Olympic sized pool, spa, sport court, picnic area, kids playground, and scenic trails, with optional golf club membership.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Key systems have been recently updated with an HVAC unit installed in 2020 and a water heater in 2023, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for critical home infrastructure.
Bright & Voluminous Interior Design: The home features a great room with two-story ceilings and a wall of windows, providing abundant natural light and an open, airy feel, complemented by spacious bedrooms and thoughtful indoor-outdoor transitions.

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 = 3.
Smaller Lot Size: With a 5,040 square foot lot, the outdoor space is relatively modest for a home of this size and in a prestigious community, potentially limiting extensive landscaping or large outdoor entertainment areas.
Potential for Dated Interior Finishes: Built in 1991, while well-maintained, the description does not explicitly mention recent full renovations of the kitchen or bathrooms beyond stainless steel appliances, suggesting some interior finishes may be dated and could require future updates to align with modern tastes.
Monthly Association Fees: The $320 monthly association fee, while providing access to excellent community amenities, adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
