Built in 1986, this home is well-maintained with notable functional updates such as newer windows and updated A/C and furnace units. However, the kitchen, while spacious and clean, features dated white cabinetry, white countertops, and a mix of older appliances (cooktop, built-in oven/microwave, trash compactor) alongside newer stainless steel ones (dishwasher, refrigerator). The bathrooms are functional and clean but exhibit styles (cabinets, tile, fixtures) that appear dated, not reflecting a recent 'spa-inspired' renovation. Carpeting in the dining room, bedrooms, and family room, along with some light fixtures, also suggests an older aesthetic. While move-in ready, significant cosmetic updates would be required to modernize the kitchen, bathrooms, and some flooring to current standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views: The property boasts phenomenal city lights and mountain views, with sweeping, unobstructed views of the hills and stunning sunsets visible from nearly every room, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Prime Location & Community: Situated in the prestigious Turtle Rock community on a single-loaded cul-de-sac, offering convenience to award-winning Irvine schools (including University High School), UCI, Fashion Island, fine dining, beaches, John Wayne Airport, and Shady Canyon hiking trails.
Desirable Layout & Features: Features a highly sought-after main-level primary suite, an additional primary suite downstairs, a spacious family room, high beamed ceilings, newer windows, custom double glass entry doors, and a 3-car garage with built-in cabinets.
Modern Climate Control: Each floor is equipped with its own updated A/C and furnace, ensuring efficient and comfortable climate control throughout the entire home.
Community Amenities: Residents benefit from access to a range of community amenities including a pool, spa, parks, and scenic trails, fostering an active and engaging lifestyle.

Cons

Townhouse Structure & HOA Fees: As a townhouse, the property likely involves shared walls and comes with a mandatory association fee of $434.00, which adds to recurring monthly housing expenses.
Potential for Kitchen/Bath Updates: While the primary bath is described as 'spa-inspired,' the description does not explicitly detail recent updates for the main kitchen or other bathrooms, suggesting these areas might be original to the 1986 build and could benefit from modernization.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: The property mentions an 'enclosed courtyard' and 'balcony area,' but does not indicate a substantial private backyard, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking larger outdoor living areas.
