Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1987, this property has undergone an extensive and very recent renovation, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for properties extensively renovated within 5 years. The description highlights 'fresh interior paint, sleek recessed lighting, and beautiful flooring throughout,' along with 'Dual-pane windows and plantation shutters.' The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and contemporary stainless steel appliances (including a black stainless refrigerator), all in pristine condition. Bathrooms are equally updated with modern vanities, backlit LED mirrors, and updated fixtures, including 'spa-inspired touches' in the primary suite. The flooring throughout is a consistent, modern luxury vinyl plank or engineered wood. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community Amenities: Situated in the desirable Portola Hills, offering walkability to a top-rated elementary school, clubhouse, and access to a newly renovated HOA recreation center with pool, spa, and tennis courts.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: Features fresh interior paint, recessed lighting, updated flooring, dual-pane windows, plantation shutters, and a chef’s kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
Exceptional Private Outdoor Living: Boasts one of the largest private backyards in the neighborhood, complete with a covered Alumawood patio, hot tub, and potential for a pool, enhanced by privacy with no rear neighbors and a quiet flag lot.
Versatile & Functional Floorplan: Includes a convenient downstairs bedroom/office with a full bath, and an oversized bonus room upstairs, providing flexibility for various living arrangements or remote work.
Favorable Financial Structure: Benefits from low HOA dues and no Mello-Roos, reducing ongoing ownership costs.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1987, which, despite cosmetic upgrades, may imply older underlying systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or replacement.
Limited View Quality: While offering 'Mountain(s)' and 'canyon views,' the 'Peek-A-Boo' designation suggests these views are not expansive or fully unobstructed, potentially falling short of expectations for some buyers.
Recent Price Adjustments: Multiple price reductions from the original list price ($1.495M to $1.445M) indicate potential market resistance or an initial overvaluation, which could affect buyer perception.
