Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1995 (29 years old), the property has been well-maintained and features significant updates that place it in the 'Good' category. The kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated fixtures. The home is move-in ready with functional systems, leased solar panels, and a pristine pool/spa area, showing pride of ownership despite the original build date.
The property boasts epic panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains and a resort-style backyard featuring a pristine pool, spa, and mature desert landscaping, perfect for entertaining.
With 2,555 sq. ft. of living space and four bathrooms, the home offers a generous layout including clerestory windows for natural light and the easy potential to convert a space into a 4th bedroom.
The absence of HOA fees and the inclusion of solar panels provide significant monthly cost savings and greater autonomy for the homeowner compared to nearby developments.
The local assigned schools have low ratings, specifically a 2/10 for the middle school and 3/10 for the high school, which may deter families and impact future appreciation.
The solar panels are leased rather than owned, which requires the buyer to qualify for and assume a lease agreement, potentially complicating the financing and escrow process.
