Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Remodel & Upgrades: The property boasts a beautiful, extensive remodel including a stunning kitchen, updated bathrooms, smooth ceilings, crown molding, recessed lighting, dual-pane windows, and walnut flooring, offering a move-in ready condition.
Expanded Living Space: An enormous 250 sq ft enclosed rear sunroom significantly increases the usable living area, providing a bright space with a gorgeous greenbelt and tree view.
Desirable End-Unit & Single-Level Layout: As an end-unit, it offers enhanced privacy and natural light. The single-level floorplan with twin primary suites is highly functional and sought after, particularly in a senior community.
Outdoor Entertaining & Views: The large covered front courtyard provides an ideal space for year-round entertaining, dining, and relaxation, complemented by the serene greenbelt views from the sunroom.
Convenient Parking & Garage Access: The property includes a single-car garage with direct kitchen access, washer/dryer hookups, and a utility sink, plus additional driveway parking and ample street parking for guests.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community: Located within the Laguna Woods senior community, this property is restricted to buyers aged 55 and over, significantly narrowing the potential market.
High Monthly Association Fee: The substantial monthly association fee of $855.00 adds a significant ongoing cost to homeownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: While equipped with ceiling fans, the description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a drawback and lead to discomfort during warmer periods in California.
