Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1998, is well-maintained and move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and white appliances (except for the refrigerator), which contradict the 'modern kitchen' claim in the description. One bathroom also exhibits a very specific, non-neutral decorative style on the vanity and shower tiles that would likely require updating for broader appeal. While the hardwood flooring and recessed lighting are positives, these key areas show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Top-Tier Schools: Located in highly desirable Irvine, within a top-tier school district featuring National Blue Ribbon Award-winning schools, making it exceptionally attractive to families.
Secure Gated Community & Amenities: Offers peace of mind with a 24-hour attended gated community, complemented by well-maintained common areas, landscaped walking paths, and guest parking.
Well-Maintained & Bright Interior: Described as 'beautifully maintained' and 'stunning,' featuring an open-concept layout, high ceilings, large windows for abundant natural light, and a modern kitchen with updated appliances.
Direct Access 2-Car Garage: A significant convenience for condo living, providing secure, private parking and direct access into the unit, enhancing both security and ease of use.
Strong Investment Potential: Positioned as a low-maintenance investment property with strong long-term growth potential, appealing to both first-time buyers and savvy investors.

Cons

Upstairs Unit: Being an upstairs unit requires navigating stairs, which may be a consideration for buyers with mobility challenges or those preferring ground-level access.
Condominium Limitations: As a condo, it entails shared walls, potential for noise transfer from neighbors, and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which can limit personal modifications or outdoor space.
Building Age: Built in 1998, the property is 26 years old, meaning some original systems and components may be nearing the end of their expected lifespan and could require future maintenance or replacement.
