Key pros and cons

Top Pros:
Income-Generating ADU: Features a newly-built, fully equipped 2-bedroom, 1-bath Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) with individual AC units, offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
Top Cons:
Inconsistent Property Type: The property is listed as a 'Condominium' (sub_type) despite the description detailing a large 10,454 sq. ft. lot and separate structures (main house + ADU), which is characteristic of a single-family home. This discrepancy could lead to confusion, financing challenges, or misrepresentation.

Condition: The main house, built in 1987, is aged with original or older components in the kitchen and bathrooms, including dated cabinets, countertops, and light fixtures. While the kitchen floor has been refurbished and some areas have updated laminate flooring, the overall style is outdated. The property is maintained and functional, but the main residence requires minor updates to modernize its aesthetics. The newly built ADU is in excellent condition and features modern amenities, but the score primarily reflects the condition of the main dwelling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating ADU: Features a newly-built, fully equipped 2-bedroom, 1-bath Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) with individual AC units, offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
Spacious & Versatile Living: The main house boasts a generous 1,827 sq. ft. floor plan with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an indoor laundry, a two-car garage, and a large bonus room with a bar, ideal for entertainment and flexible use.
Large Lot & Unique Outdoor Appeal: An expansive 10,454 sq. ft. lot is adorned with two Joshua trees, a rear covered porch, and offers clear views for stargazing, providing ample outdoor space and a distinctive natural aesthetic.
Strategic Location: Situated in a 'rapidly growing city' with convenient access to the town center, City Hall, a golf course, and recreational opportunities like Red Rock Canyon Park, enhancing lifestyle and potential appreciation.
Recent Updates & Amenities: Includes a refurbished kitchen floor in the main house and modern amenities throughout the newly constructed ADU, contributing to overall appeal and functionality.

Cons

Inconsistent Property Type: The property is listed as a 'Condominium' (sub_type) despite the description detailing a large 10,454 sq. ft. lot and separate structures (main house + ADU), which is characteristic of a single-family home. This discrepancy could lead to confusion, financing challenges, or misrepresentation.
Age of Main Structure: The main house was built in 1987, making it 37 years old. While some updates are mentioned (kitchen floor, ADU), the core systems (e.g., roof, main house HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original and could require future maintenance or replacement.
Significant Price Appreciation: The current list price of $378,000 represents a substantial increase from its last sale price of $245,000 in March 2024. While potentially justified by the new ADU, this significant jump in a short timeframe could be perceived as aggressive pricing.
