Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1977, the property has undergone extensive recent renovations that place it in mint condition. Key updates include a fully remodeled kitchen with new appliances and custom cabinetry, remodeled bathrooms, and major system overhauls including a new HVAC system, new electrical panel, and a full PEX repipe. The interior features modern vinyl plank flooring and recessed lighting, requiring no maintenance.
The property features significant high-value improvements including a full PEX repipe, new HVAC system with engineered ductwork, and a new electrical panel, providing rare peace of mind and reduced maintenance costs.
The rare combination of no HOA fees, no Mello Roos, and a grandfathered NEM-2 solar agreement significantly lowers the monthly cost of ownership compared to similar Orange County listings.
With a main-floor bedroom and full bath, a dedicated home office, and a 3-car garage with ADU potential, the floor plan offers exceptional flexibility for large families or rental income opportunities.
The solar panels are under a lease agreement rather than being owned outright, which requires a contract assumption by the buyer and may be perceived as a long-term financial encumbrance.
While the interior is highly upgraded, the property lacks the significant panoramic or territorial views often expected by luxury buyers within this price bracket in Laguna Hills.
