Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1982, this property has undergone significant and extensive renovations, including a full Pex repipe, Eagle-light roofing system, and upgraded windows and doors. The gourmet chef's kitchen is a highlight, featuring modern white shaker cabinetry, abundant quartz counters, and high-end Viking appliances, appearing to be a very recent (within 5-10 years) and high-quality renovation. The main living areas boast modern large-format tile flooring and contemporary design elements, including a modern fireplace. While the primary bathroom shows good updates with a modern vanity and tub surround, one secondary bathroom (as seen in image 10) retains dated small square tiles and gold fixtures, suggesting it has not been renovated in 20-30+ years. Despite this, the home is move-in ready, well-maintained, and the major systems and key areas like the kitchen have been extensively updated within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: High School: Aliso Niguel High School (9/10).
Exceptional Views & Privacy: The property boasts sweeping mountain, canyon, and city light views from nearly half an acre of private, equestrian-zoned grounds, enhanced by mature landscaping for ultimate seclusion.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living: Features a terraced patio with multiple sundecks, an inviting pool and spa, expansive Trex decking, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar, ideal for entertaining.
Extensive Upgrades & Modern Kitchen: Recent significant upgrades include a full Pex repipe, Eagle-light roofing system, upgraded windows and doors, and a gourmet chef's kitchen with Viking appliances and quartz counters.
Spacious & Custom Interior: Spanning over 5,800 square feet, the home offers dramatic scale, high-end finishes, a grand formal dining room, marble wet bar, and a versatile office/home theatre.
Desirable Community & Location: Located in Nellie Gail Ranch with low HOA fees covering security and amenities (swim, tennis, pickleball club), and offering easy access to top schools, shopping, dining, and beaches.

Cons

Bankruptcy Court Sale: The property is subject to a bankruptcy court sale, which can lead to a more complex, potentially lengthy transaction process and often implies an 'as-is' condition with limited seller disclosures or repair concessions.
Potential for Dated Systems/Elements: Despite numerous upgrades, the 1982 build year suggests that some underlying systems or architectural elements may still be original or require future attention beyond the explicitly mentioned renovations.
High Maintenance Demands: The nearly half-acre lot, extensive outdoor amenities (pool, spa, outdoor kitchen), and large interior square footage will require significant ongoing maintenance, time, and financial investment.
