Luxury vinyl plank wood and tile flooring enhance the home's elegance, while a stackable washer/dryer and remodeled bathrooms add convenience. A stunning San Jacinto Mountain view from the kitchen and primary bedroom windows create the perfect scenic backdrop. Beyond the iconic staggered pipe brise-soleil (breeze block) breezeways that define Villa Alejo's distinctive architecture, this sought-after and stylish condo community offers resort-style amenities, including a heated in-ground pool and spa, a private gym and sauna, a community barbecue area, and a welcoming mid-century modern lobby with many of the original details. Additional perks include one assigned underground parking space, an extra storage unit, and guest parking. The HOA covers all ELECTRICITY (including A/C and heating!), WATER, TRASH, SEWER, PARKING, EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE, and ALL GROUNDS MAINTENANCE, making this an incredible value.
