Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1978, this property is aged but appears well-maintained. However, the kitchen features original wood cabinets, dated tiled countertops, older appliances (including a built-in oven and cooktop), and a fluorescent box light fixture, all of which are significantly outdated. The bathrooms also show signs of age with traditional vanities and fixtures. While functional, these key areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards. The flooring is a mix of older tile and carpet. The property is not in disrepair but has not undergone extensive recent renovations, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Top-Rated Schools: Located in the highly sought-after Award Estates tract, offering excellent proximity to Helm Park, shopping, dining, beaches, major freeways, and highly-rated schools (9-10/10).
Generous & Flexible Living Space: Features a spacious 2125 sqft floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including soaring cathedral ceilings, formal dining, a breakfast nook, and a versatile downstairs bedroom.
Private Backyard Oasis with ADU Potential: The property boasts a private, maturely landscaped backyard accessible from the family room, perfect for entertaining, relaxation, and offers significant potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Luxurious Primary Suite & Scenic Views: The primary suite provides a sanctuary with cathedral ceilings, a private balcony, dual sinks, and an en-suite bathroom, while upper-level bedrooms offer clear views of the Saddleback Mountains.
Desirable Practical Amenities & No HOA: Includes valuable features such as an attached two-car garage, dedicated side yard RV/recreational vehicle parking, and the significant financial benefit of no Homeowners Association (HOA) fees.

Cons

Age of Construction & Potential for Updates: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, which may suggest that some major systems or interior finishes could be original or require updating to meet modern preferences and efficiency standards.
Significant Price Reductions: The property has experienced two price reductions from its initial listing, which could indicate an overestimation of market value or a longer time on market than desired, potentially affecting buyer perception.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for buyers in Southern California's warmer climate.
