Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained and freshly painted, offering a move-in ready condition. The living areas feature updated laminate flooring and modern light fixtures. The bathroom appears to have been recently updated with a contemporary vanity and fixtures. However, the kitchen, while functional with painted white cabinets, retains dated granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and a mix of older white and newer stainless steel appliances, indicating it has not undergone a full modern renovation. It is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with the kitchen showing signs of being outdated, requiring minor cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Sought-After Community & Location: Located in the desirable Serrano Highlands, known for excellent schools, scenic parks, trails, and newly developed sports and recreation facilities in Lake Forest.
Move-in Ready Condition: The home is beautifully maintained and freshly repainted inside, offering a 'move-in ready' experience for new owners.
HOA Resort-Style Amenities: Part of a well-maintained HOA community providing resort-style amenities including a pool, spa, tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, landscaping, and trash service.
Spacious & Open-Concept Layout: Features a spacious, open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings and great natural light, enhancing the airy feel and making the home live larger than its square footage.
Practical Storage Solutions: Includes a convenient indoor laundry room with extra storage and a large attic accessible via a pull-down ladder, ideal for seasonal organization.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1986, the property is nearly 40 years old, which may suggest older infrastructure or systems that could require future maintenance or upgrades compared to newer constructions.
Condominium Status & Limited Private Outdoor Space: Despite being a single-story home, its condominium sub-type implies shared walls and common area ownership, with private outdoor space limited to a balcony, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a detached home with a private yard.
Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price of $870,000 to $750,000, potentially indicating initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyers at previous price points.
