Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2579, other record living area = 2627.
Significant Monthly Association Fees: A recurring monthly association fee of $267.00 adds a notable ongoing cost to homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Absence of Central Cooling System Mention: The property description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a comfort consideration for buyers during San Clemente's warmer months.
Property Age & Potential for Older Systems: Built in 2004, the property is 20 years old. While parts have been updated, some original systems (e.g., roof, water heater, other appliances not part of the kitchen refresh) may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
