Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property boasts year-round panoramic views of Saddleback Mountain, with potential for snow-capped peaks, enhanced by glass fencing in the backyard to maximize visibility.
Extensive Recent Remodel & Upgrades: Recently remodeled with a freshly painted interior (June 2025) and exterior (September 2023), new kitchen quartz countertops and backsplash, updated bathrooms with new vanities, flooring, and fixtures, and rich laminate flooring downstairs.
Large, Private Lot with Pool: Situated on an expansive 14,000 sq ft lot that extends onto a serene slope, providing exceptional space and privacy, complemented by a private pool with premium Hydrazzo plaster and updated tile.
Smart Home & EV Ready: Equipped with modern smart home features including Milgard dual-pane windows, Ecobee smart thermostat, smart garage opener, smart front door lock, Ring security system, and a 240V charger for electric vehicles.
Sought-After Community Amenities: Located in the desirable Beacon Hill community, offering residents access to three pools/spas and six lighted tennis courts, enhancing lifestyle and recreational opportunities.

Cons

Age of Core Structure: Built in 1984, despite extensive modern remodels, the underlying structure is 40 years old, which might raise questions for some buyers regarding unseen original systems or a preference for newer construction.
Ongoing Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $170, which is an additional recurring cost to homeownership, even with the included community amenities.
Sloped Lot Dynamics: While offering privacy and views, the lot's extension onto a 'serene slope' might limit the amount of flat, usable yard space for certain recreational activities or future landscaping projects compared to a fully level lot.
