Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1997, making it 27 years old. While described as 'well maintained' and 'turn key,' the images reveal an outdated aesthetic in key areas. The kitchen features honey oak cabinets, white appliances, and what appear to be laminate or older solid-surface countertops, consistent with its original build era rather than recent renovations. Bathrooms also show similar dated cabinetry and light fixtures (strip lighting). The flooring includes older carpeting and white tile. There's no evidence of significant modern updates to major components like the kitchen or bathrooms within the last 15 years. The home is functional and appears to be in good repair, but its style and features are clearly aged and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer preferences, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Desirable 55+ Gated Community: Located in 'The Club,' a highly desirable 55+ gated community, offering extensive resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, spa, gym, various courts, and social events, plus secure RV storage.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in Menifee, voted 'The Best City in the Inland Empire in 2025,' with easy freeway access and close proximity to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and regional attractions like Temecula Wine Country.
Functional Single-Story Layout: A single-story home featuring an open, light, and airy floorplan with high ceilings and a wide foyer, which is highly sought after, especially within a 55+ community.
Well-Appointed Interior Features: Includes a spacious open kitchen with ample counter space, an island, and a large walk-in pantry, alongside a charming double-sided fireplace and a private primary bedroom with high ceilings and generous closet space.
Low Maintenance & Privacy: The property boasts a low-maintenance yard and benefits from having no rear neighbors, enhancing privacy and reducing upkeep for residents.

Cons

Significant Price-to-Estimate Discrepancy: The listing price of $430,000 is substantially higher than the provided property estimation value of $319,470.15, which may indicate an overvaluation or require strong justification through recent comparable sales.
Lack of Explicit Recent Upgrades: While described as 'well maintained' and 'turn key,' the listing does not detail specific recent major renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, HVAC) that some comparable properties in the same community have highlighted, potentially impacting competitiveness.
Limited Outdoor Space: The relatively small lot size of 3920 sqft, while contributing to low maintenance, may not appeal to buyers desiring a larger private yard or more extensive outdoor living and gardening opportunities.
