Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1944, this property is an older home that has been maintained. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with newer cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, which is a significant positive. However, the bathroom features a pedestal sink and older-style brass faucet, indicating it has not undergone a recent modern renovation. The flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms, while clean, is not a contemporary style. The presence of a wall-mounted heater suggests an older heating system. While the kitchen is a strong point, the overall condition reflects a mix of recent updates and older, functional but dated components, preventing it from reaching a 'Good' score for the entire property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Lifestyle: Situated in the highly sought-after canyon area of Laguna Beach, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering direct access to hiking trails and close proximity to Main Beach, cultural attractions, and amenities.
Generous Lot with Expansion Potential: A substantial 7,500 sq ft lot provides significant potential for future expansion of the existing home or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a rare asset in this desirable area.
Nature Views & Privacy: Backing directly onto a tranquil nature reserve, the property offers peaceful views and enhanced privacy, creating a serene coastal hideaway.
Updated Kitchen: The kitchen has been tastefully updated with newer cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, providing a modern and functional space for daily living.
Ample Parking: Convenience is enhanced by a spacious one-car garage, additional parking in front of the house, and ample street parking, which is a valuable feature in Laguna Beach.

Cons

Compact Living Space: With only 842 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the interior living space is quite compact, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive accommodations.
Older Construction: Built in 1944, the property is an older home, which could imply potential for ongoing maintenance needs or the necessity for further updates beyond the kitchen renovation.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $1.499M is above the estimated property value of $1.396M, suggesting it may be priced aggressively for its size and features.
