Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1998, falls within the 25-40 year age bracket for the 'fair' category with no major cosmetic renovations. While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and features significant mechanical upgrades like a new HVAC (2020) and ductwork (2023), the interior aesthetics—including oak cabinetry, white countertops, gold-trimmed bathroom fixtures, and original-style carpeting—are dated and show signs of being from the original construction era.
The highly sought-after Monaco layout features an open-concept kitchen, soaring ceilings, and a private guest suite that functions as an attached casita, offering excellent separation of space.
The property features a new HVAC system installed in 2020 and new ductwork completed in 2023, providing essential energy efficiency and peace of mind in the desert climate.
Situated at the end of a quiet street on a corner lot, this home offers enhanced privacy, an extended backyard with fruit trees, and a spacious two-car garage plus golf cart storage.
The property has undergone five consecutive price reductions since its initial listing, which may signal a struggle to align with current market demand or buyer expectations.
While mechanical systems are updated, the 1998 construction and lack of mention regarding kitchen or bath remodels suggest the interior may require aesthetic modernization to compete with newer renovations.
