Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1961, this Mid-Century home shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen is severely outdated with original or very old wood cabinets, dated countertops, backsplash, flooring, and an old fluorescent light panel. No major appliances are visible. The bathrooms are also very dated; the master features an unconventional, worn circular tiled shower and open laundry, while other bathrooms have basic, worn fixtures and show signs of neglect. Carpets are worn throughout, and light fixtures are outdated. The exterior also shows wear and potential issues (e.g., 'CAUTION' tape near the pool). The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current living standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location & Low Tax Rate: Located in the highly sought-after North Tustin area, this property benefits from a low tax rate, enhancing its long-term financial appeal.
Generous Outdoor Living: The property boasts a large, flat 12,300 sqft yard complete with a private pool, offering exceptional space for recreation and entertaining.
Single-Story Mid-Century Design: As a single-story Mid-Century home, it offers both the convenience of a single-level layout and the unique architectural appeal of its era, attracting a specific buyer demographic.
Functional Layout: With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 2108 sqft, the home provides a practical and comfortable living arrangement suitable for various family needs.
Investment Potential: Positioned as a 'Wonderful opportunity to buy,' the property presents a strong potential for customization, renovation, and future value appreciation in a desirable market.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1961, the home is over 60 years old, which may necessitate updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or interior finishes to meet contemporary standards and preferences.
Limited Current Details: The 'More coming soon!' note suggests a lack of comprehensive property information, such as detailed interior photos or specific upgrade history, which could create uncertainty for prospective buyers.
Standard View: While pleasant, the 'Neighborhood' view does not offer the premium appeal or potential value increase associated with more expansive or scenic vistas (e.g., ocean, city lights, mountains).
