Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1995, the property appears to be in well-maintained but largely original condition. The kitchen features dated white appliances, oak-colored cabinetry, and white tile countertops typical of the mid-90s. While the home is clean and move-in ready, the lack of modern renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and fixtures aligns with the 'fair' criteria for a property of this age that has not undergone significant updates.
Residents enjoy premium HOA benefits including access to community pools, tennis courts, and the exclusive Rancho Santa Margarita Beach Club on the lake.
The well-designed floor plan features a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, complemented by two private patios that enhance the indoor-outdoor living experience.
The oversized two-car tandem garage provides significant space not only for vehicles but also for additional cabinetry and storage, a rare find in many condominium complexes.
The tandem parking arrangement requires one vehicle to be moved to access the other, which can be a daily inconvenience for households with multiple drivers.
With the entry on the ground floor, living area on the second, and primary suite on the third, the vertical layout may pose accessibility challenges for some buyers.
