Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1977, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older white appliances, dated wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, and vinyl flooring, along with a dated light fixture and wallpaper in the breakfast nook. Bathrooms also exhibit dated styles with cultured marble countertops, older fixtures, and floral wallpaper. While functional and clean, these areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. The flooring throughout includes older carpets and vinyl. A notable weakness is the absence of central air conditioning. The overall aesthetic, including light fixtures and finishes, points to either original construction or renovations that are well over 30 years old, aligning with the 'aged but maintained' and 'major components are functional but show signs of being outdated' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
Pros & Cons

Desirable Gated Community: Located in the serene, park-like, and quiet gated community of Friendly Woods, offering a desirable living environment.
Spacious Interior & Custom Features: A generous 2098 sqft floor plan with 3 beds/3 baths, featuring custom woodwork, built-ins, a fireplace with custom cabinetry, and an enclosed wet bar.
Extensive Community Amenities: HOA provides access to a community pool, spa, and a custom tennis court, enhancing lifestyle and recreational options.
Private Outdoor Spaces & Scenic Views: Multiple private patio areas and balconies with patio covers off upstairs bedrooms, offering lush backyard views and serene hills/trees.
Highly-Rated Local Schools: Situated within proximity to several well-regarded public schools with ratings of 7 and 8, including a high school just 0.23 miles away.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $714 is relatively high and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership.
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1977, the property's age may imply older major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as completed.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer months in Southern California.
