Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive High-End Upgrades: The property boasts numerous premium upgrades throughout, including Acacia hardwood flooring, crown molding, a gourmet kitchen with Cambria Quartz, high-end stainless steel appliances (Bertazzoni, Viking, Bosch), and a luxurious master bath with Italian Marble.
Modern Infrastructure & Smart Home Features: Equipped with central air conditioning, PEX piping, a ChargePoint EV charger, and a cell phone-controlled Sensi digital thermostat, offering modern convenience and efficiency.
Prime Location with Direct Access to Amenities: Unbeatable location within the 'Breakers' community, offering direct gate access to Ocean Ranch shopping center (Trader Joe's, Cinepolis, dining) and minutes from Waldorf/Ritz Carlton resorts, Salt Creek Beach, and Dana Point Harbor.
Meticulously Maintained by Original Owner: The residence has been impeccably cared for by its original owner, ensuring a move-in ready condition and reflecting pride of ownership.
Luxurious Master Suite: Features customized closets, a master bath with Italian Marble walk-in shower, custom espresso cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and raised dual sinks, providing a spa-like experience.

Cons

Significant HOA Fees: A monthly association fee of $600 adds a substantial recurring cost to homeownership, which may deter some buyers.
Condominium Living & Modest Square Footage: As a condominium, it entails shared walls and a relatively modest 1107 sqft for a 2-bedroom unit, potentially limiting privacy and space compared to single-family alternatives in the area.
Limited View (Neighborhood View): Despite the desirable coastal proximity, the property's listed view is 'Neighborhood,' suggesting it lacks the premium ocean or panoramic views that often command higher values in this sought-after region.
