More Insights
Built in 1994 (31 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1994, has undergone significant recent upgrades, making it move-in ready. Key updates include new vinyl plank flooring upstairs (tile downstairs), freshly painted interiors, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, and a remodeled kitchen featuring new stainless steel appliances (including a 6-burner gas range and newer refrigerator). The full bathroom has been nicely updated with a modern vanity, mirror, lighting, and subway tile shower surround. While the kitchen cabinets appear to be painted and the countertops are a basic tile/laminate, and the half-bath is basic, the overall condition is well-maintained with functional major systems (newer HVAC, double-pane windows, newer garage door). The renovations are substantial enough to elevate it beyond 'Fair' but not a full, high-end renovation to qualify as 'Excellent'.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Interior Upgrades: The home features new vinyl plank flooring throughout, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, fresh paint, and a remodeled kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and a 6-burner gas range.
Low Ownership Costs: The property benefits from no HOA, no Mello-Roos, and low property taxes, significantly reducing monthly housing expenses for the buyer.
Spacious & Versatile Backyard: A large, fully fenced 6,970 sq ft lot includes a covered patio, storage shed, and ample space, offering potential for a future pool or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Desirable Location & Amenities: Situated in the sought-after California Oaks community of Murrieta, providing convenient access to top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and major freeways.
Priced Below Estimated Value: The current listing price of $615,000 is below the property's estimated market value of $634,942, potentially offering immediate equity to the buyer.
Cons
Assumed Solar Lease: The buyer is required to assume an existing solar lease, which will add a recurring monthly expense and financial obligation to ownership.
Moderate Interior Square Footage: With 1,509 sq ft of living space, the interior may be considered moderate for a 3-bedroom home, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Potential for Aging Systems: Despite recent upgrades, the 1994 build year suggests that some core systems or components (e.g., roof, water heater, original plumbing/electrical beyond fixtures) may be nearing the end of their useful life, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
