Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1974, the property has undergone a significant and recent renovation, as stated in the description ('highly renovated unit features new flooring, fixtures, lighting and paint throughout') and evidenced by the images. The kitchen boasts modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, though the brown/goldish granite-look countertops and backsplash, while clean, are not the most current high-end trend. The bathroom features a modern vanity and updated fixtures, but the shower is a pre-fabricated insert rather than a fully tiled unit. New light wood-look flooring and contemporary light fixtures are present throughout. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria for a recently renovated older home.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Renovation: The unit has been highly renovated with new flooring, fixtures, lighting, and paint throughout, offering a move-in ready and contemporary aesthetic.
Single-Story Design & Private Outdoor Space: The single-story layout provides accessibility, complemented by a private patio yard, a desirable feature for condo living.
Open Concept Living with Upgraded Kitchen: Features a very open and upgraded kitchen and family room concept, ideal for modern living and entertaining.
Strategic Location: Offers easy access to shopping and freeways, enhancing convenience for daily errands and commuting.
Versatile Appeal & Value: Positioned as 'one of the best values in Orange County,' it caters to a broad demographic, from first-time homebuyers to those looking to downsize.
Cons
Age of Building Structure: Built in 1974, the overall building structure is older, which may lead to higher maintenance costs or potential future assessments for common area repairs.
Monthly Association Fees: A $350.0 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership.
Compact Square Footage for 3 Bedrooms: At 1037 sqft, the living space for three bedrooms might be considered compact by some buyers, potentially limiting comfort or future expansion.
