The property, built in 1980, has undergone updates including a new roof, new fireplace, and stainless steel kitchen appliances. The bathrooms feature a reglazed tub and dual sinks, and the powder room appears updated. While the flooring and paint are modern, the kitchen's tile countertops are a significant indicator of an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago) and are outdated by current standards. This prevents it from reaching a 'Good' score, which would require more recent and comprehensive updates in key areas like the kitchen. The home is well-maintained but shows signs of being aged with components that are functional but outdated in style.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community Amenities: Located in the highly desirable Woodbridge neighborhood of Irvine, offering extensive recreational facilities including lakes, pools, tennis courts, and proximity to top-rated Irvine Unified schools.
Recent Updates & End-Unit Advantage: The townhome features a new roof, new fireplace, updated kitchen appliances, and a renovated primary bathroom. As an end-unit, it provides enhanced privacy and fewer shared walls.
Direct Access 2-Car Garage: A significant convenience for townhome living, offering secure parking and direct entry into the home, which is not common for all units in the tract.
Versatile Living Space: The 'HUGE loft' offers flexible options for use as a den, office, or potential second bedroom, adapting to various lifestyle needs.
Private Outdoor Spaces: The property includes both a private courtyard and a private balcony adjacent to the loft, providing valuable outdoor relaxation and entertaining areas.

Cons

Limited Dedicated Bedrooms: While the loft offers flexibility, the property officially has only one dedicated bedroom, which may limit its appeal to larger households or those requiring two distinct private sleeping areas.
High Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: The monthly HOA fee of $440.00 is substantial, potentially impacting affordability and ongoing ownership costs, despite covering extensive community amenities.
Price Increase History: The current list price of $899,000 is a significant increase from the original list price of $825,000, which could suggest an aggressive pricing strategy or previous market challenges.
