Pros & Cons

Luxury & High-End Finishes: Features include soaring 9-foot ceilings, elegant crown molding, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, custom shutters, double-paned windows, and a striking slate stone fireplace.
Spacious & Functional Layout: As the largest end-unit in the community, it spans over 2,000 sq. ft. with 3 spacious ensuite bedrooms, an open-concept living/dining area, breakfast nook, and formal dining space.
Gourmet Kitchen & Spa-like Baths: Boasts a chef's dream kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom accents, complemented by a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like master bath including a jacuzzi tub.

Cons

Monthly Association Fees: The property has a recurring association fee of $522.0, which adds to the overall monthly housing expense.
Potential for Freeway Noise: Despite double-paned windows, the proximity to major freeways (110fwy & 210fwy) could still lead to some ambient noise, which might be a concern for noise-sensitive buyers.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: While offering two private patios, the overall private outdoor space is typical for a townhome and may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard or garden.
