Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1999, this property is well-maintained and features recent cosmetic improvements such as fresh interior paint and new carpeting. However, the kitchen and bathrooms appear to retain their original 1990s styling and finishes, which are now over 25 years old. While the home is move-in ready and includes functional upgrades like a Tesla solar system and accessibility features, it lacks the comprehensive modern renovation required for a higher rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
High School: Aliso Niguel High School (9/10).
- Single-Level Accessibility

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Leased Solar System
The Tesla solar system is leased rather than owned, which may require the buyer to assume a contract and can complicate the financing or escrow process for some individuals.
- Original 1990s Finishes
Despite fresh paint and new carpeting, many core elements of the home reflect its 1999 construction date, likely requiring additional capital investment to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms to current luxury standards.
