Bathrooms are equally impressive, especially the 'spa-inspired' primary suite with Porcelain Yorkwood flooring, a luxurious soaking tub, and updated vanities. Throughout the home, rich mahogany wood flooring, earth tone stone flooring, recessed lighting, crown molding, and exposed wood-beamed ceilings contribute to an upscale and contemporary feel, showing no signs of deferred maintenance or significant physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Turnkey Condition & High-End Upgrades: The home is in turnkey condition, featuring tasteful upgrades throughout including exposed wood-beamed ceilings, custom gas brick fireplace, rich mahogany wood flooring, crown molding, recessed lighting, and custom woodwork.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: The kitchen is a standout with rich mahogany cabinetry, granite countertops, a custom backsplash, a stone farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless steel appliances (Electrolux gas stove, Bosch microwave, Electrolux oven, Samsung refrigerator).
Prime Location & Community Amenities: Ideally located in the Paloma tract, steps away from resort-style community amenities, top-rated Irvine schools, scenic hiking/biking trails, and a strong community in Portola Springs.
Exceptional Value per Square Foot: Following recent price improvements, this property offers the lowest price per square foot for a 3-bedroom home in Portola Springs, presenting a strong value proposition for buyers.
Flexible Living Spaces & Private Outdoor Areas: Features a spacious loft for versatile use (office, media room) and charming private outdoor spaces including a flagstone courtyard and side yard, enhancing livability and entertainment options.

Cons

Condominium Type & HOA Fees: As a condominium, the property is subject to an association fee of $296.0/month, which adds to monthly housing costs and implies adherence to HOA rules and regulations.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price of $1.689M to the current $1.549M could suggest initial overpricing or a slower market, potentially raising questions about its market value.
Limited Lot Size: The lot size of 2400 sqft is relatively small, which may limit private outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future expansion compared to detached single-family homes.
