Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1969, making it over 50 years old. While the listing describes it as 'move-in ready' and 'fully inhabitable,' the interior images reveal finishes that are functional but significantly dated. The kitchen features older-style granite countertops, beige shaker cabinets, and a mix of stainless steel (microwave) and black (oven/cooktop) appliances, suggesting a renovation from 15-25 years ago. Bathrooms also show dated tile work. The tile flooring throughout the main living areas is clean but not contemporary. The property is well-maintained, but its aesthetic and features are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to align with current market expectations and styles, fitting the 'fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Waterfront Location: The property boasts 'THE BEST' water front harbor lot in Huntington Beach, offering highly coveted marina views and direct water access, a significant value driver.
High Demand & Rarity: Described as a 'once in not very often event' attracting global inquiries, indicating a unique and highly sought-after opportunity in a competitive market.
Desirable Coastal Community: Located in Huntington Beach, a prime Southern California coastal city known for its lifestyle, beaches, and strong real estate market.
Move-in Ready & Blank Canvas: The property is presented as 'Feng Shui Move In Ready!' and a 'Blank Canvas,' suggesting it's in good, inhabitable condition and ready for immediate personalization without major initial repairs.
Original Model Home Status: Being an 'Original Model Home' can imply superior construction quality, upgraded finishes, or unique design elements compared to standard builds of its era.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1969, the property is over 50 years old, which may mean aging systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or dated aesthetics that could require future modernization and investment.
Premium Pricing: The current list price of $4.05M is above the estimated property value of $3.95M, suggesting a premium for the location and perceived rarity, which may require strong justification to potential buyers.
Lack of Detailed Modernization: While 'move-in ready,' the description lacks specific details on recent significant renovations or modern upgrades, which buyers of a luxury waterfront property might expect in a home of this age.
