This lovely, ground-floor 1-bedroom condo in the gated community of St. Albans is just steps from South Coast Plaza, and it's updated and ready for you to immediately begin showing off to your friends. Open the door to this light and bright home and revel in the gorgeous kitchen with granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. The update bathroom includes travertine counters, and the unit features laminate and tile flooring throughout, which add to its elegance. Don't forget the scraped ceilings, crown molding, large walk-in closet, and included washer and dryer, which are all features you don't have to purchase yourself. Best yet, with this rare gem of a condo you can curl up next to a granite-face fireplace on a rainy day, or relax on your large patio on a Saturday morning while you slowly sip your coffee. The unit is also south-facing, which means you have plenty of natural light. Don't forget the central heating and AC, which are uncommon features at this price point. The gated community of St. Albans is known for its park-like grounds and peaceful atmosphere, and it features top-notch amenities including two lit tennis courts, two pools, two spas, a gym, and a clubhouse. St. Albans is located within the trendy South Coast Metro area, which is walking distance from world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment venues including South Coast Plaza and the Segerstrom Center. South Coast Metro also offers easy access to the 405, 55, 73, and 5 freeways, which means all of OC's attractions, including world-famous beaches and Disneyland, are just a short drive away. St. Albans land ownership terms are unlike other complexes with expensive land leases. The St. Albans HOA purchased the land in 1999 and the condo owners only pay $1 per year to the HOA, which means qualified buyers can get conventional and FHA financing.
