Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1994 (30 years old) and appears to retain many original features. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready, the bathrooms show dated 1990s-style oak cabinetry, white square tile countertops, and brass shower trim. Because the primary systems and aesthetic finishes are over 20 years old without a recent major renovation, it falls into the 'Fair' category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Middle School: Arroyo Vista Middle School (9/10).
- Versatile Floor Plan
As the largest model in the subdivision, this home features a highly desirable downstairs bedroom and full bathroom, providing excellent flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
- Prime Location and Schools
The property is perfectly situated within walking distance of the top-rated Arroyo Vista K-8 School and offers immediate access to the Tijeras Creek Golf Course and scenic Arroyo Trail.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Compact Lot Size
With a lot size of 2,975 square feet, the outdoor space is relatively small for a 2,000+ square foot home, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking a large private yard.
- Potential for Modernization
Built in 1994 and lacking mention of recent interior renovations, the property may require additional capital investment to update finishes and fixtures to modern market standards.
