About this home

Beautiful multi-level home in Mission Viejo's picturesque Timberline Community featuring a brand-new roof professionally installed for durability and peace of mind. The new roof not only enhances the home’s curb appeal but also provides energy efficiency and weather protection for years to come—an exceptional upgrade that adds real value and confidence to your investment. This functional floor plan includes a formal dining room, family room, living room, two fireplaces, and vaulted ceilings. Enjoy a master bedroom with a large retreat, walk-in closet, skylights, and dual sinks. Inside, discover marble, tile, and hardwood flooring, custom lighting, ceiling fans in all the bedrooms, a house fan, and matching vertical blinds throughout. Upgrades feature owned solar panels, top of the line Andersen windows, a two-year-old tankless water heater, five-year-old HVAC system, soft water and reverse osmosis systems, a home security system with cameras ($40/mo.), a 220 connection for electric vehicles, and a closed-in trash area with vinyl fencing. The property boasts artificial turf, pavers, and rain gutters with underground pipes. The backyard spans 2,280 sq. ft., the largest yard in the community, with an extended deck and stairs, plus a shed underneath, creating zero-maintenance front and backyards. The garage includes extensive storage, checkered flooring, washer and dryer. Enjoy the view and privacy from the house that is located at the top of the hill, on a cul-de-sac, making it perfect for a traffic free environment and is close to the 5 FWY, shopping, and schools.

Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1977, benefits from numerous significant and recent upgrades that elevate its condition. A brand-new roof, owned solar panels, top-of-the-line Andersen windows, a two-year-old tankless water heater, and a five-year-old HVAC system indicate excellent maintenance and substantial investment in major systems, making it highly energy-efficient and move-in ready from a functional standpoint. The flooring (marble, tile, hardwood) and overall interior appear well-maintained. However, the kitchen, while featuring updated black appliances (built-in oven, cooktop, microwave), still retains dated tile countertops and a checkered floor pattern. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional, but their tile styles and fixtures appear to be from an older renovation, not a recent modern update. These cosmetic elements prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the extensive and recent upgrades to critical infrastructure firmly place it in the 'Good' category, requiring no immediate renovations for functionality.

Premium Location & Privacy: Located at the top of a hill on a cul-de-sac, the home offers enhanced privacy, a traffic-free environment, and a pleasant 'Trees/Woods' view.

Advanced Home Conveniences: Equipped with modern amenities such as soft water and reverse osmosis systems, a home security system with cameras, a 220 connection for electric vehicles, and extensive garage storage.

Cons

Age of Core Structure: Built in 1977, while many systems are updated, the underlying structure and some components may be original, potentially requiring future attention or renovation in areas not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Multi-Level Floor Plan: The multi-level design may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-story living or with mobility challenges, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Ongoing Monthly Fees: The property incurs a monthly association fee of $254 and an additional $40/month for the home security system, adding to the recurring cost of ownership.
