Exceptional Community Amenities: Located in the 'Resort Style Planned Community' of Baker Ranch, offering 7 parks, hiking/biking trails, clubhouses, heated pools, spas, sports courts, and kids' play areas, enhancing lifestyle appeal.
No Mello Roos: A significant financial advantage, as the absence of Mello Roos taxes results in lower overall property tax burdens for the homeowner.

Luxurious Owner's Suite & Indoor-Outdoor Flow: The owner's suite offers a 'spa-like bath' and a private terrace, complemented by 'expansive sliding glass doors' connecting the great room to a 'meticulously landscaped private yard' for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Cons

Recent Price Increase: The property has seen a significant price increase from its original list price of $2.995M to the current $3.295M, which may require justification to potential buyers.
Ongoing Association Fees: While offering extensive amenities, the monthly association fee of $222.0 adds to the recurring costs of homeownership.
Limited Premium Views: Although offering 'Park/Greenbelt, Hills, Neighborhood' views, the property does not feature the more sought-after panoramic ocean or city light views that some buyers in this luxury segment might expect.
