Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2007, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, fitting the 10-20 year age criteria for a 'good' score. The kitchen features quality granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the home benefits from a recently upgraded HVAC system and newer exterior paint. While the cabinetry and tile flooring reflect the original construction style rather than a modern renovation, the overall condition shows minimal wear and tear with no immediate repairs required.
The property features breathtaking, unobstructed mountain and valley views from the backyard and interior, significantly increasing its premium appeal and aesthetic value.
A main-level bedroom and full bathroom provide essential flexibility for guests or multigenerational living arrangements, a highly sought-after feature in this market.
Recent improvements including an upgraded HVAC system, newer exterior paint, and drought-tolerant landscaping offer immediate value and reduced long-term maintenance costs.
The hillside location and emphasis on concrete patio space may limit options for buyers seeking a traditional flat grass lawn or extensive private gardening areas.
The $200 monthly HOA fee for the gated community adds to the recurring ownership costs, which may be a drawback for budget-conscious buyers compared to non-gated alternatives.
