The property, built in 1993, has undergone significant recent updates as described and evidenced by the images. The kitchen features modern grey shaker cabinets, solid countertops, and updated lighting. Bathrooms have updated vanities with granite countertops and modern fixtures. Brand-new LVP flooring and fresh carpet throughout, along with fresh paint, make the home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. While not a brand-new build or a full gut-renovation within the last 5 years, the extensive updates align well with the 'Good' category's criteria for properties extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years, ensuring major systems are functional and aesthetics are current.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Aliso Niguel High School (9/10).
Move-in Ready & Updated: The home features fresh interiors, brand-new flooring throughout, and an updated kitchen, making it immediately move-in ready for new occupants.
Flexible Dual-Primary Floor Plan: The highly sought-after dual-primary floor plan, with each bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom, offers excellent privacy and flexibility for residents or guests.
Generous Outdoor Living Spaces: Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a large deck off the kitchen and an additional private balcony upstairs, providing ample space for relaxation and entertaining.
Prime Location & Community Amenities: Located in the St. Tropez community, residents have access to a sparkling pool and spa, and are steps away from parks, Starbucks, hiking trails, and local shops/dining, with easy freeway access.
Bright & Open Layout: As a corner unit, the property boasts a bright, open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and large windows, creating an airy and spacious living environment.

Cons

Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $420 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which buyers must factor into their budget.
Neighborhood View: While the property has a view, it is limited to 'Neighborhood' views, lacking the premium appeal of ocean, city lights, or canyon vistas often desired in Orange County.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1216 square feet, the interior living space might be considered modest for some buyers, especially when compared to other housing options in the South Orange County market.
