Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Ocean & Coastline Views: Offers unobstructed, sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and stunning sunsets from a prime vantage point, significantly enhancing desirability.
Extensive Luxury Renovations: Features a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, marble countertops, and custom cabinetry, alongside a spa-like primary suite with premium fixtures, reflecting significant investment in modern luxury.
Advanced Smart Home & Energy Features: Equipped with automation, zoned HVAC with humidity control, a tankless water heater, energy-efficient appliances, whole-home data wiring, and a Tonal Smart Home Gym.
Exclusive Gated Community Amenities: Located in the prestigious Laguna Sur community, providing residents with resort-style amenities including two pools, a spa, and tennis/pickleball courts.
Premier Coastal Location: Situated minutes from world-class resorts (Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton), Laguna Beach Village, Dana Point Harbor, and extensive recreational trails, offering unparalleled lifestyle access.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial monthly association fee of $694.67 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
Condominium Ownership: As a condominium, the property may involve shared walls, potentially less private outdoor space, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which might not appeal to all buyers seeking single-family detached homes.
Original Construction Year (1986): Despite extensive modern renovations, the property's original build year of 1986 might be a consideration for buyers who prioritize newer construction or perceive potential for older underlying infrastructure.
