More Insights

Built in 1996 (30 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1996, is a beautifully updated home with significant modern upgrades, particularly in the kitchen. The kitchen features premium stainless steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinets, white quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and modern lighting, making it highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. The home boasts an open-concept layout, high ceilings, and plantation shutters throughout. While the primary and secondary bathrooms are very clean and well-maintained with double sinks and separate tub/shower in the master, their tiled countertops and standard shower enclosures suggest they may not have undergone the most recent, high-end renovations compared to the kitchen. The multi-toned slate/stone flooring downstairs is a quality material but a specific style that might not be considered cutting-edge modern. The absence of central air conditioning is a notable functional limitation for a property in this region. However, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with a 'Good' score, indicating extensive renovations within the last 5-15 years for key areas.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1934, other record living area = 2139.

Monthly Association Fee: A recurring $400 monthly association fee adds to the overall cost of homeownership.
Attached Unit Structure: As a townhouse, it shares a wall (albeit only the garage), which might not suit buyers exclusively seeking a fully detached single-family residence.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer periods in Southern California.
