Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1990, is in very good condition, largely due to the kitchen being extensively remodeled in the last year with solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, making it virtually new. While the overall structure is 34 years old, the images show a well-maintained interior with clean tile and carpet flooring, and no immediate renovations appear necessary. The bathrooms are not explicitly shown, but the quality of the kitchen renovation suggests a well-cared-for home. It is move-in ready, but not all components are 'virtually new' to qualify as 'Excellent'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exclusive Gated Community & Location: Situated on one of the most exclusive streets within the highly sought-after guard-gated Canyon Crest community, offering prestige and security.
Lake Views & Access: Features a tranquil backyard with direct views of Lake Mission Viejo and provides access to a wide array of lake activities like swimming, fishing, and boating.
Recently Remodeled Kitchen: The kitchen was remodeled within the last year, boasting solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, appealing to modern tastes.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wealth of HOA-provided amenities including a Clubhouse, multiple swimming pools, tennis courts, BBQ areas, picnic spots, and a gym.
Functional Floor Plan & Parking: Offers a practical layout with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including a convenient downstairs bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, plus ample parking with a 3-car garage and 3 driveway spaces.

Cons

Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price of $3.8995M to $2.2995M, which may raise questions for potential buyers regarding its initial valuation or underlying issues.
Potential for Dated Systems: Built in 1990, while the kitchen is updated, other major home systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement costs.
Ongoing HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $243, while providing access to numerous amenities, represents an additional recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
