Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1998, this property is well-maintained with fresh interior paint and updated flooring (laminate and tile). The primary bathroom has seen recent upgrades with a marble composite shower and rimless glass doors, and the kitchen features stainless steel appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets and countertops appear dated, and some bathroom fixtures and lighting also reflect an older style. While functional and move-in ready, the home shows signs of being aged and would benefit from further cosmetic updates to align with current design trends, fitting the 'aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7841, living area = 1921.
Resort-Style 55+ Community & Amenities: Located in The Colony, a vibrant 55+ gated community offering an unparalleled lifestyle with a resort-style clubhouse, pools, spas, sports courts, gym, library, and numerous social activities, enhancing quality of life and security.
Private Outdoor Oasis with Views: Features a large private pool with ramped easy-entry, a spa with directional jets, a spacious covered patio, and magnificent views over the golf course to the mountains, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Upgraded & Well-Maintained Interior: The home boasts fresh interior paint, laminate & tile flooring, vaulted ceilings, a kitchen with double oven and stainless-steel appliances, and an upgraded primary bath with marble composite shower and rimless glass doors, along with custom built-ins by Closet World.
Energy Efficiency & Functional Garage: Equipped with Quiet Cool Fans in four areas with individual controls for efficient home and attic cooling, plus a garage with built-in storage, finished floor, and attic ladder, accommodating two cars and a golf cart.
Low-Maintenance Living & Security: The HOA waters and maintains all front landscaping, reducing homeowner burden, while guard-gated entry and 24-hour security patrol provide peace of mind.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community (55+): Being part of a 55+ community significantly limits the potential buyer pool, which can impact marketability and resale value to a broader demographic.
High Monthly HOA Fees: The property incurs a substantial monthly HOA fee of $348.0, which is a significant recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Cooling System Reliance: While equipped with Quiet Cool Fans, the description does not explicitly mention a traditional central air conditioning system, which might be a drawback for some buyers in Murrieta's hot climate who prefer more robust cooling.
