Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Upgrades & Modernization: The property boasts significant recent upgrades including owned solar, whole house repipe, new luxury vinyl floors, new interior paint, updated kitchen, new garage epoxy, and a whole house carbon water filtration system, enhancing its value and reducing future maintenance concerns.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Entertainment: The rear yard is a private oasis featuring a sparkling pool and spa, ample gathering space, and a newly added 900+ sq' level multi-use entertaining area with turf, retaining walls, and permits, perfect for hosting.
Flexible & Functional Layout: The home lives like a single story with the added benefit of a huge, extraordinary bonus room on the second level, complete with a private balcony offering sunset views, a half bath, large closet, and built-ins, plus a convenient office alcove.
Prime Location & Community Amenities: Enjoy an excellent location within walking distance to schools and the Mission Viejo Swim & Racquet Club, along with exclusive membership to Lake Mission Viejo, offering access to beaches, watercraft rentals, and summer concerts.
Updated Chef's Kitchen & Primary Suite: The chef's kitchen has been stylishly updated with black quartz counters, subway tile, and white cabinets, while the large primary retreat provides a serene sanctuary with a walk-in shower and direct access to the rear yard.

Cons

Recent Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price, which could suggest an initial overvaluation or a longer time on the market, potentially raising questions for prospective buyers.
Ongoing Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $179 adds to the recurring costs of homeownership, which may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
Not a True Single-Story Home: While described as living like a single story, the presence of a 'huge extraordinary bonus room on the 2nd level' means it is not a pure single-story residence, which might not meet the specific criteria of buyers strictly seeking single-level living.
