Escape to your own private sanctuary with this lovely, large and exquisitely laid out ground-floor 1-bedroom in the coveted St. Albans community, steps from South Coast Plaza. Enjoy a updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, which you can show off while you entertain. The laminate floors stretch out on to a large patio, where you can savor the California sun and your delightful garden that looks out on to the elegant greenbelt. Also enjoy recessed lights and lovely crown and base molding—two features that add to the condo’s charm—and delight in the large fireplace that you can cozy up to. Don't forget the central heating & AC, walk-in closet, and the included washer/dryer. The gated community of St. Albans offers top amenities such as two lit tennis courts, two pools, two spas, a gym, and a clubhouse. Best yet, this community is in South Coast Metro, which offers world-class dining, shopping and entertainment, and a superb walkability factor. You are right in the thick of world-famous attractions, including South Coast Plaza. The community also offers easy access to the 405, 55, 73, and 5 freeways. Indeed, when you live in South Coast Metro, all of OC’s attractions are only 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.
