Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1945, the property features a newer roof (2022) and updated electrical, which are significant positives. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathroom, is extremely outdated. The kitchen has old appliances, basic cabinets, and worn flooring, while the single bathroom displays original-era mint green and white tiling and fixtures, requiring substantial renovation. The overall condition of these key areas, along with worn hardwood floors, indicates a need for significant rehabilitation despite the recent system upgrades.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8451, living area = 1165.
Large Lot & ADU Potential: The property features a substantial 8451 sqft lot with a huge backyard, mature fruit trees, and clear potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering future income or expanded living space.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Significant updates include a newer roof (2022) and updated electrical, reducing immediate capital expenditures and providing peace of mind for a new owner.
Ample Parking: The property includes a detached 2-car garage and a long driveway, providing generous off-street parking options, a valuable asset in urban areas.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located near shopping, dining, El Salvador Park, Santa Ana College, Downtown Santa Ana Historic District, and major freeways (22 and 5), offering convenience and strong connectivity.
Investment/Value-Add Opportunity: Described as a 'Great Opportunity,' the large lot, ADU potential, and probate sale nature position this property well for investors or buyers looking to add significant value.
Cons
Probate Sale & Court Confirmation: The sale is subject to probate and requires court confirmation, which can lead to extended timelines, additional legal complexities, and uncertainty for buyers.
Limited Buyer Pool (Cash Only): The explicit preference for a 'cash buyer' significantly narrows the market, potentially limiting competitive offers and the final sale price.
Low Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home, the property may not meet the needs or expectations of many modern families, potentially requiring future renovation.
