About this home

Light, bright and airy residence situated at the heart of great neighborhood cul-de-sac in the prestigious highly sought after guard-gated community of Canyon Crest. Beginning with great curb appeal, that includes mature planter beds and statement piece shade tree, the tone is set before one even steps inside. Upon entry, rich, warm and inviting wood floors, and neutral tones, host an exceptional abundance of natural light. With soaring vaulted ceilings, the living and dining room spaces are ample in size and showcase an elegant setting for hosting. Just off of the formal living areas is a downstairs bedroom and, along with the three quarter lower level guest bath, this could be an ideal one-story living option. A separate laundry room with a dedicated task sink adds convenience. The spacious family room, just off the kitchen, is the perfect space to gather around the fireplace, making entertaining effortless. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with beautiful quartz countertops, a central island with an inset gas cooktop, tons of great prep and storage space, top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and updated fixtures, lighting and hardware throughout. A convenient eat-in area and great light make the kitchen and family room the places where all the action is sure to happen. Upstairs, the grand primary suite offers a tranquil retreat, complete with great light, vaulted ceilings and an ensuite with a large dual sink vanity, step-in shower, soaking tub and a private water closet. The two upper guest bedrooms share a full bathroom with Jack-and-Jill sinks. The backyard is perfect for enjoying evening sunsets and has a large grassy lawn and multiple seating areas making this a fantastic spot to entertain under the stars. A large three-car garage offers ample storage space for vehicles and more and a large 3 car driveway completes the residence. Homeowners in this exclusive community enjoy low HOA fees, which includes access to the clubhouse, three pools, a spa, a full gym, sauna, sports courts, tennis courts, a multipurpose room, park, 24-hour roaming security guards, and multiple gates. Conveniently located near award-winning Blue Ribbon schools, Lake Mission Viejo, shops, restaurants and the best of what South OC living has to offer. This home presents sophistication and practicality in what is definitely a must see opportunity. WELCOME HOME!

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1994, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen which features modern quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and updated fixtures, making it appear recently renovated. The main living areas boast rich wood floors, fresh paint, and plantation shutters, contributing to a bright and move-in ready feel. However, the primary bathroom, while clean and functional, retains dated light wood cabinetry, older-style tile flooring, and a traditional light fixture, indicating it has not been renovated to the same modern standard as the kitchen. The property is well-maintained and requires no immediate renovations, aligning with a 'Good' condition score where some components are updated, but not the entire property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premium Guard-Gated Community: Located in the prestigious Canyon Crest, offering 24-hour security, cul-de-sac privacy, and extensive resort-style amenities (pools, gym, sports courts) with relatively low HOA fees.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: Features beautiful quartz countertops, a central island with an inset gas cooktop, top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and updated fixtures, making it ideal for entertaining and daily use.
Flexible Downstairs Living Option: Includes a convenient downstairs bedroom and a three-quarter guest bath, providing an ideal setup for multi-generational living or a dedicated home office.
Exceptional Curb Appeal & Entertaining Backyard: Boasts mature landscaping, a statement shade tree, and a private backyard with a large grassy lawn and multiple seating areas perfect for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining.
Prime Location with Top Schools: Situated near award-winning Blue Ribbon schools, Lake Mission Viejo, and a variety of shops and restaurants, enhancing its desirability for families.

Cons

Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current listing price is 7% above the automated property estimation, which may suggest it is priced aggressively compared to current market valuations.
Multiple Price Reductions: The property has undergone two price reductions since its initial listing, potentially indicating an initial overpricing strategy or a struggle to attract buyer interest at previous price points.
Absence of Explicit Cooling System: The description highlights 'airy' but does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for buyers in California's warm climate.
