Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1992 (32 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely dated. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, the white tile countertops and cabinetry reflect the original construction era, and the overall age suggests systems are likely nearing the end of their typical lifespan.
As a desirable end-unit with soaring ceilings and expansive windows, this home offers superior natural light and a more private living experience compared to interior units.
Membership in SAMLARC provides exclusive access to the Santa Margarita Lake Beach Club, multiple pools, and year-round events, significantly enhancing the property's lifestyle appeal.
The property features breathtaking mountain views from the main living areas and a private balcony, providing a high-value aesthetic that is a major selling point in the region.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =25172, other record lot size in square feet = 1399.
The association fee of $567 per month is relatively high, which may impact buyer affordability and increase the total monthly carrying costs for the property.
The second bedroom is configured as a loft, which may lack the acoustic and visual privacy of a traditional enclosed bedroom, potentially limiting its appeal for families or roommates.
