Built in 2003, this townhome has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features an expanded, open layout with granite counters, updated backsplash, new stainless steel appliances (range and refrigerator), and recessed lighting. Both the master and hall bathrooms have been updated with new tubs, tile surrounds, quartz counters (master), new vanities, and plumbing/lighting fixtures, indicating a renovation within the last 5-15 years. Hard surface flooring (tile downstairs, luxury vinyl plank upstairs) is a modern update. While the property is move-in ready with high-quality finishes in key areas, the absence of central air conditioning, as noted in the property analysis, prevents it from achieving an 'Excellent' score, as it represents a significant missing modern amenity.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community: Nestled in Rancho Santa Margarita, rated the safest city in California, with an ideal end-of-cul-de-sac location, excellent schools, and low property taxes (approx. 1.02%).
Extensive Community Amenities: SAMLARC membership provides access to a wide array of city-wide amenities including multiple pools, a beach club with a sand-bottom lagoon, various sports courts, clubhouse, parks, and fishing.
Updated & Open Concept Interior: The reimagined kitchen has been expanded and opened to the living and dining rooms, featuring granite counters, new stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, complemented by updated bathrooms and hard surface flooring throughout.
Serene Canyon Views & Natural Light: Enjoy serene canyon and sunrise views from the master suite balcony, with large sliding glass doors providing abundant natural light and access to a spacious back patio for outdoor living.
Modernized Bathrooms: Both the master en-suite and hall bathrooms have been recently updated with new tubs, tile surrounds, quartz counters, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, offering a fresh and contemporary feel.

Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
Monthly Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $410.35, while providing access to numerous amenities, represents a substantial recurring cost for homeowners.
Attached Dwelling: As a townhome, the property involves shared walls and potentially less privacy or yard space compared to a detached single-family home, which may not appeal to all buyers.
