Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1989, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to have been renovated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinets, and stainless steel appliances (dishwasher), along with recessed lighting. The master bathroom boasts a modern dual vanity with marble-look countertops, contemporary fixtures, and a remodeled shower with a glass enclosure. The overall condition is very clean and well-maintained, with vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting throughout the main living areas. While the carpeted areas and some kitchen finishes prevent it from being 'Excellent' (which implies virtually new or ultra-modern high-end renovation), it is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' score criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Walkability: Centrally located in a highly sought-after Aliso Viejo neighborhood, offering walking distance to essential amenities like Starbucks, Aliso Viejo Town Center, and parks, plus quick access to beaches and freeways.
Flexible Floor Plan & Modern Updates: Features a versatile loft space convertible to a third bedroom, an open living area with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, and an updated kitchen with granite counters and recessed lighting.
Enhanced Privacy & Outdoor Living: Positioned as an upstairs unit with no direct rear neighbors, ensuring a private living experience, complemented by a large private patio ideal for entertaining.
Generous Parking Solutions: Unique for a townhouse, it boasts an attached two-car garage plus an additional two-car driveway, providing ample parking.
FHA Approved & Remodeled Bathrooms: FHA approval expands financing options for potential buyers, and both the master and secondary bathrooms have been recently remodeled, enhancing appeal and value.

Cons

Significant Monthly HOA Dues: The $420 monthly association fee represents a substantial ongoing cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Upstairs Unit Accessibility: As an upstairs unit, it requires navigating stairs, which may not be suitable for all buyers, particularly those with mobility challenges or a preference for single-level living.
Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1989, while some areas are updated, other core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or older, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade costs not explicitly detailed.
