Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1989, is well-maintained and features recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new carpet, and brand-new stainless steel kitchen appliances, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen cabinets and tile countertops, as well as the bathroom vanities and tile surrounds, appear dated and are likely original or from an older renovation (15-30+ years ago). While functional and clean, these elements show signs of being outdated and would require significant updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Breathtaking Views: The property offers stunning, unobstructed Tijeras Creek Golf Course and nature views from nearly every room, including the primary bedroom, enhancing its appeal and tranquility.
Move-in Ready Condition: Recently updated with brand-new stainless steel appliances, fresh paint, and plush new carpet, making it immediately habitable and appealing to buyers.
Exceptional Practical Features: Includes an attached garage with direct access, a rare second detached garage for extra storage or vehicle, and a dedicated laundry room with full-size appliances, offering significant convenience.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents benefit from access to a sparkling pool, spa, beautifully landscaped grounds, and proximity to Rancho Santa Margarita Lake with paths, parks, and various recreational activities.
Bright & Airy Living Space: The condo features high ceilings, abundant natural light, a cozy fireplace, and vaulted ceilings in the primary bedroom, creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The $409 monthly association fee is a significant recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget, potentially impacting affordability.
Age of Property: Built in 1989, the property is over 30 years old. While cosmetic updates are present, major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, windows) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description highlights a fireplace but makes no mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a notable drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
