Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1987, making it 37 years old. While the description mentions a 'remodeled kitchen with granite counter tops,' the visual evidence suggests this remodel, particularly the cabinet style and backsplash, is likely 15-20 years old rather than a recent, modern update. Appliances are a mix of stainless steel and black. The home is very well-maintained with clean flooring (tile, hardwood-look laminate, carpet) and functional systems, but many elements like the family room built-ins and overall aesthetic show signs of being outdated. No bathroom images were provided for assessment. It is move-in ready but would benefit from further cosmetic updates to align with current styles.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Community: Located in the desirable Santiago Hills at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering convenient walking distance to Chapman Hills Elementary, Peters Canyon, parks, shopping, and freeways, appealing to families and commuters.
Extensive Outdoor Entertainment: Features a very large backyard designed for entertaining, complete with a pool, spa, built-in BBQ, and a great patio, ideal for California outdoor living.
Modernized Kitchen: The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops, providing a contemporary and functional space for cooking and gathering.
Cost-Saving Financial Benefits: The absence of Mello Roos and HOA fees significantly reduces monthly ownership costs, making the property more financially attractive.
Motivated Seller & Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $1.495M to $1.45M, coupled with the seller's explicit motivation ('make an offer we are ready to move'), indicates potential for negotiation and a favorable purchase.
Cons
Leased Solar System: The solar panels are leased, which typically involves ongoing monthly payments and may require a lease transfer or buyout, potentially adding complexity to the transaction.
Age of Property Systems: Built in 1987, while the kitchen is remodeled, other major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
Bedroom Configuration: All four bedrooms are located upstairs, which might not be ideal for buyers seeking a downstairs bedroom for guests, an office, or multi-generational living arrangements.
