Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Upgrades: The property has undergone significant and continuous remodeling since 2014, including a stunning full kitchen, updated bathrooms, new cabinetry, appliances, flooring, and a refined fireplace, offering a move-in ready modern aesthetic.
Comprehensive Energy Efficiency & System Upgrades: Features like PAID-IN-FULL solar, copper rewiring, PEX re-piping, a tankless water heater, whole house water treatment, newer A/C, and a whole house fan provide significant utility savings and peace of mind regarding major systems.
Desirable Community & Prime Location: Situated on a peaceful cul-de-sac within Serrano Park, offering exceptional amenities (pools, tennis courts, parks, trails) and an unbeatable location minutes from the Great Park, Irvine Spectrum, top shopping, dining, and major freeways.
Low-Maintenance Outdoor Living: The outdoor spaces feature low-maintenance front and back turf, succulents, upgraded exterior lighting, a rock patio, covered patio, built-in BBQ, and pet-friendly turf, ideal for easy enjoyment and entertaining.
Rare Single-Story Layout & Spacious Garage: A highly sought-after single-story floor plan offers accessibility and an open feel, complemented by a spacious three-car garage with built-ins, providing ample parking and storage.

Cons

Original Construction Year: Built in 1976, despite extensive remodels, the underlying structure is older, which might be a consideration for buyers preferring newer construction or concerned about potential age-related issues.
Mandatory HOA Fees: While described as 'low' ($150/month), the presence of mandatory HOA fees can be a deterrent for some buyers who prefer to avoid recurring association costs, even with the included community amenities.
Limited Traditional Garden Space: The outdoor areas are designed for low maintenance with turf and succulents, which may not appeal to buyers desiring a larger, more traditional garden for extensive planting or landscaping.
