Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1976, this property is a well-maintained example of mid-century modern architecture but lacks recent comprehensive renovations. While the interior features desirable high ceilings and clerestory windows, the kitchen and bathrooms appear to have older finishes and appliances consistent with a home that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than modern updates. The property is move-in ready but shows signs of being outdated relative to current luxury standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Architectural Pedigree

    Designed by renowned architect Hugh Kaptur, this property offers significant prestige and value as a piece of iconic mid-century modern desert history.

  • Indoor-Outdoor Lifestyle

    The residence features three distinct patios, including a large primary terrace with breathtaking mountain views, seamlessly blending interior and exterior living spaces.

  • Architectural Volume

    Soaring cathedral ceilings and clerestory windows create an expansive, light-filled atmosphere that enhances the home's 1,554 square feet of living space.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Monthly Carrying Costs

    The association fee of $730 per month is relatively high and may impact the overall affordability for budget-conscious buyers.

  • Vintage Infrastructure

    Built in 1976, the property may require updates to major systems or cosmetic refreshments to meet modern energy efficiency and design standards.

  • Limited Private Land

    With a small lot size of 2,657 square feet, the outdoor space is confined to patios rather than a traditional private yard, which may not suit all pet owners.
