Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1998, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows its age through original 1990s design elements. The kitchen features dated tile countertops and older cabinetry, and the bathrooms reflect the construction era rather than modern luxury standards. While functional and clean, the home lacks the recent comprehensive renovations necessary for a 'good' or 'excellent' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: James Monroe Elementary School (9/10).
- Expansive Entertainment Space
Boasting nearly 3,400 sq. ft., the home features a massive 22x24 upstairs bonus room with a wet bar and a large family room, providing exceptional space for hosting large gatherings.
- Premium Outdoor Amenities
The oversized 11,300 sq. ft. lot includes a private waterfall pool and spa set against mountain views, offering a high-end desert lifestyle and significant outdoor living space.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Potential for Modernization
Built in 1998, the interior may require cosmetic updates to align with current luxury trends, as the description does not specify recent comprehensive renovations.
- Two-Story Floor Plan
The multi-level design, with two bedrooms and the primary entertainment bonus room located upstairs, may be less appealing to buyers specifically seeking single-story desert living.
