Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1982, shows clear evidence of extensive and high-quality renovations in key areas. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark granite/quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing recently updated. Both visible bathrooms also boast modern vanities, updated fixtures, and tiled showers, indicating recent and tasteful renovations. Throughout the main living areas, there is consistent light-colored tile/laminate flooring and recessed lighting, contributing to a clean and updated aesthetic. While the house itself is over 40 years old, the significant updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, along with the overall well-maintained appearance, make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. However, without explicit information on the age of all major systems (HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical) or a full, top-to-bottom renovation, it doesn't quite meet the 'all components new or virtually new' standard for an 'Excellent' rating. It fits well within the 'Good' category, having been extensively renovated in critical areas within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated in 'Surf City U.S.A.', Huntington Beach, the property offers exceptional proximity to the beach, surfing, and the vibrant coastal lifestyle.
Spacious Interior & High Bathroom Count: Boasts four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a powder room, formal living room, and a large family room, providing ample and versatile living space.
ADU/Conversion Potential: Includes a bedroom above the garage with potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a separate rental unit, offering future income possibilities.
Low Maintenance Lifestyle: Designed with reduced yard work in mind, appealing to buyers seeking a low-maintenance property to maximize leisure time.
Excellent Local Amenities: Conveniently located near top Huntington Beach attractions including schools, parks, Huntington Harbor, Bolsa Chica Wetlands, and the pier.

Cons

Bedroom Count Discrepancy: The property description states 'four bedrooms' while the structured MLS data indicates 'beds:3', which requires clarification for accurate representation.
Limited Outdoor Space: With a lot size of 3062 sqft, the property offers minimal outdoor space, which may not suit buyers desiring a larger yard or garden.
Significant Price Increase: The list price has seen a substantial increase from $1.43M to $1.627M since its initial listing, which may warrant strong justification given the 1982 build year and lack of explicit major recent renovations.
