Despite being built in 1987, this condo has undergone a recent and extensive renovation, as explicitly stated in the description and visually confirmed by the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, light granite/quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances (range, microwave), and recessed lighting. The bathroom is also updated with contemporary finishes, including a modern vanity, glass shower enclosure, and stylish tiling. The flooring throughout, a mix of light carpet and wood-look LVP, appears new and on-trend. The property is presented as 'turnkey' with no visible deferred maintenance, aligning with the criteria for an 'Excellent' rating due to its recent, high-quality renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The condo offers breathtaking panoramic views of Catalina, City Lights, Coastline, Park/Greenbelt, Hills, and Mountains from the master bedroom, private balcony, and bonus loft, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Prime Location & Resort-Style Amenities: Situated steps from RSM Lake, the property boasts an unbeatable location within walking distance to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Residents also enjoy full access to Rancho Santa Margarita's extensive resort-style amenities including a Beach Club, Lagoon, tennis courts, and water park.
Extensive Recent Remodel & Turnkey Condition: Recently remodeled and freshly painted, the home features a custom-designed kitchen with modern cabinetry, stylish flooring, updated bathroom with designer finishes, and soaring vaulted ceilings, making it a desirable turnkey property.
Favorable Financials: The property benefits from no Mello Roos and a low tax rate of approximately 1.01%, reducing the overall cost of ownership and making it more attractive to buyers.
Dedicated Parking & Flexible Space: The unit includes two dedicated parking spots (1-car garage and 1 carport) with optional access to a third, a significant advantage for condo living. Additionally, a spacious bonus loft provides valuable flexible living space.

Cons

High HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $470.0 is substantial, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership, despite including access to community amenities.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a 2-bedroom unit, convenience may be an issue for multiple occupants or when entertaining guests.
Compact Living Space: At 869 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact, which might not appeal to buyers seeking larger homes or those with growing families.
