Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1998, this 26-year-old home is well-maintained and move-in ready, but largely retains its original aesthetic and major components. The kitchen features original oak raised-panel cabinetry and older-style countertops, though it has been improved with newer stainless steel appliances. While the flooring and 10-foot ceilings are in good condition, the property lacks the comprehensive recent renovations required for a higher score, fitting the criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with functional but dated features.
The separate guest house provides exceptional privacy and versatility for visitors, a hobby room, or a dedicated private studio, which is a highly sought-after feature in the Sun City community.
With 10-foot ceilings, transom windows, and custom window treatments, the home offers a bright, sophisticated atmosphere that enhances the sense of space and luxury throughout the Morocco model.
The spacious eat-in kitchen features a large center island, newer appliances, and a breakfast bar, providing a functional and contemporary heart for the home ideal for entertaining.
The requirement for the buyer to pay a Reclamation fee equal to six months of HOA dues adds a significant non-negotiable closing cost that may impact the initial budget.
Built in 1998, the property may soon require capital investments for major systems such as the roof or HVAC to maintain modern efficiency and performance standards.
