Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2011, this home is 13 years old, placing it within the 'Good' category's age range. The property is move-in ready with high-quality finishes throughout, including wood flooring, recessed lighting, and plantation shutters. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a 6-burner gas range and dual ovens), and a large island, all in excellent condition and modern style. Bathrooms are also modern and well-maintained, with the primary suite offering a 'spa-inspired' feel. Major systems like the tankless water heater and whole-house water softener are modern additions. While the property is in fantastic condition and shows minimal wear, it is not newly built or extensively renovated within the last 5 years, and the absence of central air conditioning (as noted in the weaknesses) prevents it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, which typically implies all components are virtually new and meet the highest current standards without any omissions in major comfort systems.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Modern Construction & Upgrades: Built in 2011, this home features contemporary amenities including wood flooring, recessed lighting, dual-pane windows with shutters, underground utilities, a whole-house water softener, and a tankless water heater.
Gourmet Kitchen: The kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner gas range, dual ovens, a walk-in pantry, and a large center island, ideal for cooking and entertaining.
Flexible Living Space: A spacious upstairs loft provides versatile options for a home office, media room, or additional family living area.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in a desirable Costa Mesa community with low HOA dues, offering easy access to parks, entertainment, shopping (South Coast Plaza), top-rated schools, major freeways (405, 55, 73), and a short drive to the beach.
Low Maintenance Lifestyle: The property boasts a low-maintenance yard and benefits from low HOA dues, appealing to buyers seeking convenience and less upkeep.

Cons

No View: The property explicitly states 'None' for views, which may be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, especially given its desirable coastal proximity.
Smaller Lot Size: With a lot size of 3,481 sqft, the outdoor space is relatively limited, which might not suit buyers desiring a larger yard for extensive recreation or gardening.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which is a notable omission for a newer build in Southern California and could be a comfort concern during warmer months.
