Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1994, is 30 years old but is described as 'beautifully maintained' and 'freshly painted,' which is evident in the images. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances (double ovens, built-in microwave, refrigerator) and granite countertops, although the honey oak cabinets are a bit dated in style. Bathrooms are clean and functional with similar style cabinetry and solid surface countertops, including a large soaking tub and separate shower in the primary suite. Flooring is a mix of well-maintained hardwood and tile. Plantation shutters are a nice touch throughout. While the home's age means some core systems may be nearing the end of their lifespan, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a well-maintained property with some updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Portola Springs Elementary (9/10). Middle School: Jeffrey Trail Middle (9/10). High School: Northwood High School (9/10).
Panoramic Views: The property boasts 'VIEWS, VIEWS & MORE VIEWS!' including breathtaking sunset views from the backyard, city lights, neighborhood, and peek-a-boo views, significantly enhancing its desirability.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located near Blue-Ribbon schools, parks, trails, shops, restaurants, the 241 Toll Road, I-5, and Irvine Spectrum, offering excellent access to amenities and transportation.
Modern & Well-Equipped Kitchen: The bright kitchen features desirable upgrades such as granite countertops, double ovens, a five-burner cooktop, built-in microwave, and a pantry, providing a highly functional and attractive cooking space.
Favorable Financials: The property benefits from a low tax rate and a low HOA fee ($110.0), reducing ongoing ownership costs for potential buyers.
Well-Maintained & Updated Interior: Described as a 'beautifully maintained home' with fresh interior paint, built-in garage shelving, and a whole home water filtration system, suggesting move-in readiness and owner care.

Cons

Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current list price of $1.525M is 7% higher than the property's estimated value of $1.415M, which may indicate a premium over current market assessments.
Aging Core Systems (Implicit): Built in 1994, the property is 30 years old. While well-maintained, major systems like HVAC, water heater, or roof may be original or nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment for replacement or significant repairs.
Limited Outdoor Space: With a lot size of 4,565 sq. ft. for a 2,512 sq. ft. home, the backyard is described as 'low-maintenance,' which often implies a smaller or less expansive outdoor living area, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger yards or extensive landscaping.
