Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1962, this property is well-maintained and freshly painted, making it move-in ready. It benefits from functional upgrades like three modern split-system AC units and an LG washer/dryer combo. However, the kitchen features significantly dated white cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, and a very old built-in refrigerator, along with a dated fluorescent ceiling light panel. While some appliances (microwave, oven) appear newer, the overall kitchen style is from an older era. The bathrooms are not pictured but are likely similarly dated given the kitchen's condition. The property is functional but shows clear signs of being outdated in key areas, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Community Amenities: Located in Leisure World, a gated 55+ community offering extensive resort-style amenities including multiple clubhouses, swimming pools, fitness centers, a 9-hole golf course, and over 200 social clubs.
Desirable Unit Features & Upgrades: This lower-level unit boasts a highly desirable floor plan with a true primary suite featuring 3 closets, grand double French doors, an enclosed patio for versatile use, and is freshly painted and move-in ready.
Rare In-Unit Conveniences: A significant advantage is the inclusion of an LG washer and dryer combo and three air conditioning units (living room and both bedrooms), providing comfort and convenience often not found in similar units.
Convenient Location & Services: The community offers a mini shuttle bus service, on-site car wash, and is pet-friendly, all within minutes of Seal Beach Pier, main street shopping, dining, and coastal walking paths.
Pleasant Greenbelt Outlook: The unit overlooks one of the smaller greenbelt areas, providing a serene and pleasant view directly from the home.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1962, the property's age may imply older infrastructure or systems that could require future maintenance or updates, despite recent cosmetic improvements.
55+ Community Restriction: As an age-restricted 55+ community, the potential buyer pool is significantly limited, which could impact marketability and resale value.
Stock Cooperative Ownership: The 'Stock Cooperative' ownership structure can be less familiar to buyers and may involve different financing requirements, rules, and ownership implications compared to traditional condominiums or single-family homes.
