Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1986, this property has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, bringing its condition to a 'good' standard. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, while the primary bathroom boasts dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. Gorgeous wood flooring throughout, recessed lighting, and updated fixtures contribute to a move-in ready home. While the renovation style suggests it may not be brand new (within the last 5 years), it is clearly within the 5-15 year range, making it well-maintained with no immediate renovation required.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community: Ideally situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in Downtown Rancho Santa Margarita, offering proximity to community pool/spa, RSM Lake & Beach Club, restaurants, shops, award-winning schools, and recognized as Orange County's safest city.
Tastefully Updated Interior: The home features a two-story foyer, custom built-ins, a well-appointed kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, gorgeous wood flooring, ceiling fans, and recessed lighting throughout.
Spacious & Bright Layout: Over 1800 square feet with an open main-level floor plan, large windows allowing abundant natural light, a spacious family room, and a primary suite with a private balcony, soaking tub, dual vanity, and walk-in shower.
Outdoor Entertainment Space: A hardscaped 'lemonade backyard' is perfectly sized for entertaining family and friends, complemented by a private balcony off the primary suite.
Financial Advantage: The property benefits from 'No Mello Roos' taxes, significantly reducing ongoing ownership costs for buyers in this desirable Orange County location.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1986, the property's age, despite updates, may suggest potential for older infrastructure or systems not explicitly mentioned as having been replaced or upgraded.
Townhouse Classification: As a 'Townhouse' sub-type, it may involve shared walls and potential HOA restrictions, which could limit privacy or exterior modification options compared to a detached single-family home.
Limited Green Space: The description of a 'hardscape, lemonade backyard' indicates a low-maintenance, paved outdoor area, which might not appeal to buyers seeking extensive lawn or garden space.
