Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1994, has undergone significant and modern renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with a wine fridge, all appearing recently updated and in excellent condition. Bathrooms are described as luxurious and beautifully remodeled, and the powder room is updated. The home boasts updated hardwood flooring, clean carpets, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. While the visible elements are of excellent quality, the property's age (30 years) suggests that some major systems might be older, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the extensive cosmetic updates and overall well-maintained appearance firmly place it in the 'Good' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premium Guard-Gated Community: The home is situated within the prestigious, 24-hour guard-gated Dove Canyon community, offering enhanced security and exclusivity.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents enjoy access to a wealth of exclusive amenities including a community pool, spa, pickleball and tennis courts, hiking trails, and an option to join the private Dove Canyon Golf Club.
Tastefully Upgraded Interior: Features a bright, open floor plan with high ceilings, abundant natural light, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a large island, plus updated bathrooms.
Desirable Location & Schools: Ideally located near a play park, shopping, restaurants, and within the attendance zones for highly-rated, award-winning schools.
Private Backyard with Views: The property boasts a private backyard with mature landscaping and scenic views of the beautiful hills and mountains, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.

Cons

Absence of Explicit Cooling System & Older Infrastructure: The description does not mention a cooling system, a significant consideration in Southern California, and as a 1994 build, some major systems may be original or nearing end-of-life.
Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The $320.0 monthly association fee adds a notable ongoing expense to homeownership, which could impact a buyer's budget.
Compact Lot Size: With a lot size of 4515 sqft, the outdoor space is relatively modest for a single-family home in a prestigious community, potentially limiting extensive landscaping or outdoor activity options.
