The overall condition, including flooring, lighting, and general aesthetics, is consistent with a recently built home with high-quality upgrades and no visible signs of wear or deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property boasts stunning panoramic sunset, mountain, city, and hillside views from multiple vantage points, including the living room, California Room, and an upstairs covered patio, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Modern & Upgraded Interior: Features a beautifully designed open-concept main level with an upgraded chef’s kitchen, complete with a large center island, stainless steel appliances, modern backsplash, full-height cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The main suite also offers a spa-like bathroom with high-end finishes.
Exceptional Indoor-Outdoor Living: Seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces through a wall of sliding glass doors connecting to a California Room and a private backyard designed for entertaining, featuring paver stone patios and a shaded pergola.
Resort-Style Community Amenities & Financial Perks: Located in the desirable Baker Ranch community, offering access to three swimming pools, eight parks, scenic trails, tennis courts, a dog park, and a clubhouse, complemented by the significant advantage of no Mello Roos and low HOA fees.
Versatile & Functional Layout: A spacious 5-bedroom home including a private first-floor bedroom with a full bathroom ideal for guests or multi-generational living, and an upstairs loft providing flexible space for family gatherings, a home office, or entertainment.

Cons

Modest Lot Size: The 4,749 sqft lot, while efficiently designed for outdoor living, may be considered modest for some buyers seeking a larger private yard or extensive landscaping opportunities, especially for a 3,100 sqft home.
No Private Pool: Despite access to multiple community pools, the property itself does not feature a private swimming pool, which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing a personal, private aquatic amenity.
Association Fees: While described as 'low,' the recurring monthly association fee of $225 is an additional cost that some buyers might prefer to avoid, particularly if they do not fully utilize all the community amenities.
