Built in 1996, this 30-year-old home is in functional condition but remains largely dated. The kitchen features original oak cabinetry and older white appliances, while the bathrooms retain 1990s-era gold-trimmed fixtures and tile. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the property requires cosmetic updates to the kitchen and baths to meet modern standards.
Located in the prestigious 'The Colony,' the property offers access to a guard-gated community featuring an 18-hole golf course, a grand clubhouse, fitness center, and extensive recreational facilities.
The 1,754 sq. ft. single-level floor plan is highly sought after in the active adult market, providing excellent accessibility and a seamless flow to the covered patio and meadow views.
Situated minutes from Temecula Valley Wine Country, Pechanga Resort, and major freeways, the home offers a perfect balance of local leisure and convenient access to San Diego and Orange County.
Built in 1996, the property may require cosmetic updates or appliance upgrades to align with contemporary design trends and modern energy efficiency standards.
The monthly association fee of $348 represents a significant fixed expense that may impact the overall affordability for buyers on a strict fixed retirement income.
