Truly, an outstanding opportunity located in the Bear Brand “The Breakers Community“ in Laguna Niguel!… This 1500+ square foot residence contains 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, vaulted ceilings, central air conditioning, window coverings throughout and a "main floor bedroom"/den with its own full bath! Upstairs has 2 spacious bedrooms, each containing it's own separate full bathroom! This very open and spacious floor plan is light and bright and features a large Living/family room area, a separate dining area, and an interior laundry room. One of the greatest features of this particular residence is that there is no one “above or below you“ and it contains its own “private rear yard area that is totally fenced and is absolutely ideal for entertaining, pets, or a place for the kids to run around!! In addition, there is an oversized attached 2-car garage, which provides for “direct access” into the residence and provides for an abundance of storage, as well as a full-size 2-car driveway! This property has been fully repiped with PEX piping. This community also enjoys a direct “gated access“ to the fabulous Ocean Ranch shopping center with its tremendous amenities! The outstanding "Ocean Ranch" shopping center containing a multitude of dining and shopping establishments, including the Cinepolis movie theater, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Peet's Coffee, Ralph's grocery store, and Pharmacy. The community Homeowners Association is inclusive of a gated pool & spa area as well as a second spa area! Just minutes from both the Waldorf Astoria and Ritz Carlton Resorts as well as the Dana Point Harbor with its "Lantern District" offering numerous shopping and dining establishments. This community has nearby excellent schools, hiking, biking and is within minutes to the Pacific Ocean and the renowned "Salt Creek Beach" with its world class surfing breaks! This is an incredible opportunity for the owner occupant or the investor!

Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained and functional, benefiting from a significant PEX repiping upgrade. However, the interior finishes, particularly the kitchen with its original or early 90s light wood cabinets and tile countertops, are notably dated. While some appliances are newer stainless steel, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (based on the property's age and lack of mentioned renovations) requires cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations. The flooring, a mix of dated tile and older carpet, also contributes to the need for minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: John Malcom Elementary School (9/10).
Unique Condo Layout & Privacy: This condominium offers exceptional privacy with no one above or below, a highly desirable main-floor bedroom with a full bath, and en-suite bathrooms for all three bedrooms, providing a functional and private living arrangement rare for its type.
Private Outdoor Space & Ample Parking: Features a rare, fully fenced private rear yard ideal for entertaining or pets, complemented by an oversized attached 2-car garage with direct access and a full-size 2-car driveway, offering significant advantages for a condominium.
Premier Coastal Location & Lifestyle: Situated minutes from world-class resorts (Waldorf Astoria, Ritz Carlton), Dana Point Harbor, and Salt Creek Beach, providing unparalleled access to dining, shopping, and outdoor recreational activities.
Significant Infrastructure Upgrade: The property has been fully repiped with PEX piping, a substantial and costly upgrade that provides peace of mind and eliminates a common concern for properties of this age.
Exceptional Community & Local Amenities: Enjoys direct gated access to the Ocean Ranch shopping center (Trader Joe's, Cinepolis, etc.), excellent nearby schools, and HOA amenities including gated pool and spa areas.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The $720.0 monthly association fee is considerably high, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership and potentially impacting affordability or investment returns.
Potential for Dated Interior Finishes: Built in 1990, and with no mention of recent interior remodels beyond the PEX repiping, the property may require cosmetic updates to kitchen, bathrooms, or flooring to meet modern buyer expectations.
Limited View for Coastal Location: While close to the ocean, the property offers only 'Park/Greenbelt, Neighborhood' views, lacking the highly sought-after ocean or panoramic views often desired and expected in this premium coastal market.
