Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1989, this property has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features upgraded white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, presenting a clean and modern aesthetic. Bathrooms are similarly updated with upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, and a remodeled master shower with glass doors and mosaic tile. Flooring includes modern wood-look tile in living areas and kitchen, with clean carpeting in bedrooms. Central AC and updated light fixtures (recessed lighting, modern chandelier, ceiling fans) further enhance its appeal. While the property's age places it outside the 'newly built' category, the extensive and well-executed updates bring its condition firmly into the 'Good' range, requiring no immediate renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Accessibility: Offers exceptional walkability/bikeability to Salt Creek Beach, with close proximity to Dana Point Harbor, Ritz Carlton, dining, shopping, and summer trolley service to Laguna Beach/San Clemente.
Luxurious Gated Community & Amenities: Located within the secure, 24-hour guard-gated Monarch Hills, providing resort-like amenities including pools, spas (one with panoramic ocean/golf course views), clubhouse, and gym.
Turnkey & Tastefully Upgraded Interior: The unit is upgraded throughout, featuring a bright kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, and remodeled bathrooms with granite and a mosaic shower in the master.
Desirable Unit Features & Comfort: A ground-level corner unit offering central AC, ceiling fans, walk-in closets in both bedrooms, a private deck, and convenient in-unit laundry.
Community Views & Lifestyle: While not explicitly from the unit, the community boasts incredible panoramic ocean and golf course views from its amenities, enhancing the overall lifestyle appeal and value.

Cons

Monthly Association Dues: The $507 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, typical for amenity-rich condo communities.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a ground-level condo, the private deck and back patio, while present, likely offer limited outdoor living space compared to a single-family home.
Potential Lack of Direct Ocean Views from Unit: The panoramic ocean views are specifically highlighted from a community spa, implying the ground-level unit itself may not offer direct, expansive ocean views, which could be a point of clarification for buyers.
