The kitchen is a highlight, featuring modern white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a stylish herringbone patterned backsplash, and contemporary pendant lighting. Bathrooms are equally impressive with quartz counters, dual vanities, and a dam-less walk-in shower with seamless glass and modern tilework in the primary bath, and a clean, updated tub/shower combo in the secondary bath. Hardwood floors (herringbone pattern) in living areas, plush carpets in bedrooms, recessed lighting, and overall pristine condition with no visible deferred maintenance align perfectly with the criteria for an excellent rating.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community: The 55+ designation significantly limits the potential buyer pool, which could impact market demand and resale flexibility for those outside the demographic.
Substantial Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $438 adds a considerable recurring cost to homeownership, which buyers must factor into their budget.
Lack of a View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a drawback in a desirable Orange County location where views often command a premium and enhance property value.
