Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready but features dated interior finishes consistent with the 'fair' criteria. Built in 1963, the home shows signs of older renovations (likely 20+ years ago) including oak kitchen cabinetry, laminate countertops, floral-patterned bathroom sinks, and wallpaper borders. The presence of popcorn ceilings, wood paneling, and older carpet suggests that while functional, the major aesthetic components are outdated and would require modernization to meet current standards.
The Encina Royale community offers an exceptional lifestyle package, including a 9-hole par-3 golf course, a newly refinished pool, and a clubhouse with an exercise room and organized activities.
As a rare lower-level end unit, this property provides enhanced privacy and features a versatile den plus two spacious patios, significantly expanding the functional outdoor living area.
The association fee is highly inclusive, covering water, trash, landscaping, fire insurance, cable TV, and internet, which simplifies monthly budgeting for the homeowner.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1117, other record living area = 1166.
The $846 monthly association fee is a substantial recurring expense that may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some prospective buyers.
