The property, built in 1981, has undergone significant and stylish renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which feature modern cabinets, quartz countertops, new appliances, contemporary tiling, and fixtures. The wood-look flooring throughout and recessed lighting also contribute to a fresh, move-in ready interior. However, the absence of central air conditioning, as noted in the property analysis, prevents it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating, despite the high quality of the recent updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Located in the highly sought-after, ocean-close community of Casitas Del Rio, offering easy access to Doheny Beach via bike trail, walking distance to schools, and minutes from historic downtown San Juan Capistrano, shopping, and freeways.
Modernized Interior Features: The kitchen boasts updated cabinets, quartz countertops, and recessed lighting, complemented by beautifully updated bathrooms, providing a contemporary and move-in ready living space.
Financial & Community Advantages: Benefits from low-maintenance living with no Mello-Roos and low HOA dues that include desirable amenities like a pool, spa, and optional RV parking.

Practical Upgrades & Storage: Includes recent upgrades such as a new water heater, an attic fan cooling system, generous storage throughout, and an oversized two-car garage with laundry hookups.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3036, other record lot size in square feet = 45961.
Limited Living Space: With 2 bedrooms and 1362 square feet, the property may be too small for larger families or those requiring additional rooms for guests or home offices.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: While an attic fan cooling system is present, the lack of central air conditioning could be a significant drawback and comfort concern during warmer months in Southern California.
Modest Lot Size: The 3036 sqft lot offers limited private outdoor space, which might not appeal to buyers looking for a larger yard for gardening, entertaining, or children's play areas.
