Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985 (39 years old) with original bathrooms and finishes. While the property is well-maintained and '100% livable' with some updated stainless steel appliances, the kitchen and baths are significantly dated and require modernization to reach full market potential.
The property boasts 180-degree views of the lake, Santa Rosa Mountains, and the 10th fairway of the Pete Dye Dunes Course, complemented by desirable southern exposure for optimal natural light.
The unique floor plan includes a detached casita and a second bedroom with its own entrance, allowing for flexible lock-off options that maximize rental management and guest privacy.
Priced at $750,000 with renovated comparable sales reaching up to $1.4M, this home offers a substantial equity margin for buyers looking to personalize and modernize a 'blank canvas' property.
