Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovations: The property has undergone significant recent upgrades including a brand-new quartz island kitchen with stainless steel appliances, renovated bathrooms, waterproof flooring, dual-pane windows, updated recessed lighting, surround-sound speakers, upgraded plumbing, and a new 200-amp electrical panel, offering a move-in ready modern living experience.
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in the highly desirable Costa Mesa Bluffs community, offering unbeatable proximity to PCH, the beach, Fashion Island, Pacific City, and highly-rated schools within the Newport Mesa School District, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Potential for Panoramic Ocean Views: While currently offering charming 'peek-a-boo' ocean views from the front porch, the property holds significant upside potential for breathtaking panoramic ocean views with the addition of a second story, a project supported by the new 200-amp electrical panel.
Versatile and Open Floor Plan: Features an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, complemented by a spacious bonus room offering versatility as an office, media room, or additional family room, catering to diverse lifestyle needs.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Recreation Access: Boasts a spacious landscaped backyard with outdoor speakers and a covered patio, ideal for entertaining or relaxation, plus immediate access to Talbert Nature Reserve and Canyon Park for miles of walking and biking trails.

Cons

Original Construction Year: Built in 1961, despite extensive modern renovations, the underlying structure's age might raise concerns for some buyers regarding long-term maintenance or potential unseen issues not explicitly covered by recent upgrades.
Limited Current Ocean View: The property currently offers only 'peek-a-boo' ocean views from the front porch; achieving full panoramic ocean views would require a significant additional investment and construction project to add a second story.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in Southern California and may necessitate future installation costs.
