Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1995, is described as 'fully renovated and move-in ready,' and many areas support this. The kitchen is a standout, featuring modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, dual islands, new appliances, and contemporary lighting, clearly meeting 'excellent' standards. The main living areas boast new vinyl plank flooring, high ceilings, and updated light fixtures. The exterior and backyard with a pool and outdoor entertainment area also appear to be in excellent, updated condition. However, a secondary bathroom (Image 7) shows dated elements such as a tiled countertop, gold-toned fixtures, and older tile work with a green accent stripe. This inconsistency prevents the property from achieving an 'excellent' score, as not 'all components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards.' Despite this, the extensive high-quality renovations in key areas make it far better than 'fair,' placing it firmly in the 'good' category as a highly desirable, move-in ready home with no immediate renovation required, though some minor updates could further enhance its appeal.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Privacy & Location: The property is perfectly set at the end of a private cul-de-sac with no homes behind, offering unmatched privacy and a long driveway.
Gourmet Dual-Island Kitchen: Features a chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel cooktop, walk-in pantry, and a rare dual-island design, ideal for culinary enthusiasts and entertaining.
Flexible Living Spaces & Dual Master Suites: Offers two master suites (one on the main floor with a private sunroom addition) and a versatile piano/library room that can serve as an optional 5th bedroom, office, or study.
Resort-Style Outdoor Oasis: Boasts a private backyard featuring a sparkling pool and spa, expansive paver patio, and a fully built outdoor entertainment area with a grill, perfect for hosting.
Prestigious Community & Top Schools: Located in a prestigious community with access to clubhouse, pool, spa, trails, and is served by top-rated Murrieta schools.

Cons

Property Age & Unspecified System Updates: Built in 1995, and while described as 'fully renovated,' specific details on major system updates (e.g., HVAC, roof, plumbing) are not provided, which could imply potential future capital expenditures.
High Ongoing Maintenance Costs: The extensive amenities, including a large home, pool, spa, and outdoor entertainment area, will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance expenses and higher utility costs.
Limited View Description: Despite `has_view: true`, the listed view is 'Neighborhood' with no mention of panoramic, city, or mountain views, which might be a missed opportunity for a property of this size and caliber.
