Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1988, is well-maintained and features some recent updates such as LVP flooring in the main living areas and newer stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets, while functional, appear to be from an older renovation or original to the property, showing an outdated style. Similarly, the bathroom vanities, countertops, and some light fixtures are clean and functional but are not contemporary. While the description mentions an 'updated kitchen,' the overall aesthetic of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms suggests that a full, modern renovation has not occurred recently. The home is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Laguna Beach Lifestyle: The property offers an exceptional Laguna Beach lifestyle, being minutes away from downtown galleries, beaches, shopping, and renowned restaurants.
Updated Interior & Functional Layout: Features an updated kitchen with an oversized counter and casual seating, a dedicated dining area, and a generously sized living room with a fireplace. The two-story townhouse boasts vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and a desirable floor plan with two en-suite bedrooms upstairs and a half bath on the main floor.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents have access to two resort-style swimming pools, spas, and nature trails, enhancing the living experience within the Canyon Hills community.
Dedicated Parking & Outdoor Space: Includes two covered garages (one attached, one detached) providing ample parking, complemented by a beautiful covered patio overlooking greenbelts and hillside views.
Desirable School District: Located within the highly-rated Laguna Beach Unified School District, which includes top-rated elementary, middle, and high schools.
Cons
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $858.0 is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Limited View: While offering 'Canyon, Peek-A-Boo' views, it lacks the expansive ocean views often desired and expected in a Laguna Beach property, potentially limiting its appeal to some buyers.
Age of Property: Built in 1988, the property is over 35 years old. While updated, some original systems may still be in place or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
