Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1988, this property shows signs of being well-maintained with some functional updates, such as the 'upgraded kitchen cabinets with appliances' and a seemingly newer furnace. However, the kitchen's style, while upgraded, appears somewhat dated (likely 15-20+ years old), and the main bathroom is significantly outdated with original or very old fixtures and finishes. The tile flooring throughout is durable but not contemporary. While move-in ready, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Lakeside Middle School (9/10). High School: University High School (9/10).
Prime Irvine Location & Accessibility: Situated in the heart of Irvine's Westpark, offering excellent walkability to Westpark school, parks, pools, and the Harvard shopping complex. Provides easy access to I-405 freeway, John Wayne Airport, and the Irvine Spectrum Business and Entertainment Complex.
Upgraded Kitchen: The kitchen features upgraded cabinets and appliances, providing a modern and functional space for cooking and entertaining.
Desirable Outdoor Space: The property boasts a wrap-around yard, ideal for entertainment and designed for easy upkeep, enhancing outdoor living.
Excellent School District & Proximity: Located within the highly-rated Irvine Unified School District, with multiple top-tier schools like Westpark Elementary (rating 8) and Woodbridge/University High Schools (rating 9) nearby, some within walking distance.
Architectural Features & Flooring: Features high vaulted ceilings that add a sense of spaciousness and an open feel, complemented by durable and easy-to-maintain tile flooring throughout the home.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1988, while some upgrades are noted, the overall age of the home suggests that major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring significant future investment.
Association Fees: The property is subject to an association fee of $65.00, which represents an additional recurring cost for the homeowner.
Recent Price Reduction: The listing has undergone a recent price reduction from $1.575M to $1.525M, which could indicate initial overpricing or a longer market time, potentially signaling a need for further negotiation or a perceived lack of value at the original asking price.
