Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1987, has undergone significant and recent renovations that elevate its condition to 'Good'. Key updates include new windows and sliders (3 years old), PEX repiping (2015, 9 years ago), and a newer HVAC system (2013, 11 years ago). The kitchen features updated quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, presenting a clean and functional space. The primary bathroom boasts dual sinks and a walk-in shower, with overall updated fixtures and finishes. While the cabinetry style in both the kitchen and bathrooms is more traditional than ultra-modern, it is well-maintained and in good condition. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and its major systems are well within their expected lifespan due to the recent upgrades, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unique Unit Configuration: This is a true 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom end unit condo with no neighbors above or below the interior living space, offering enhanced privacy and reduced noise.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: The property boasts significant recent upgrades including new windows and sliders (3 years old), PEX repiping (2015), newer HVAC (2013), and a water softener (2 years old), minimizing immediate maintenance concerns.
Lake Mission Viejo Membership & Amenities: Exclusive membership to Lake Mission Viejo provides access to boating, swimming, clubhouses, and community events, significantly enhancing lifestyle and recreational opportunities. The community also offers a pool, spas, and tennis courts.
Multiple Private Outdoor Spaces: Enjoy three distinct outdoor living areas: an enclosed front courtyard, a large wraparound back patio with greenbelt access, and a primary suite balcony, perfect for entertaining and relaxation.
Functional & Versatile Layout: The floor plan includes a highly desirable main floor bedroom and full bathroom, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.

Cons

Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $446.0 is a notable recurring monthly expense that buyers must factor into their budget, potentially impacting affordability.
Property Age: Built in 1987, while many systems are updated, the overall structure is older, which might be a consideration for buyers preferring newer construction or anticipating potential future maintenance on original components.
Limited Premium Views: The property offers pleasant 'Mountain(s), Neighborhood' views, but lacks the highly sought-after panoramic ocean or city lights views that often command a higher premium in the Orange County market.
