Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1968, shows signs of being well-maintained but is significantly outdated. Both kitchens feature original-style wood cabinets, tile countertops, and dated appliances (though one unit has a slightly newer refrigerator and dishwasher). Bathrooms also present older vanities, basic fixtures, and dated flooring. Popcorn ceilings, wall-to-wall carpeting, and older light fixtures are prevalent throughout. While functional and clean, the property has not undergone major renovations in decades, requiring substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet current standards. It fits the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property features two distinct units (3BR/2BA and 2BR/2BA), each with a one-car garage, offering strong potential for rental income or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Prime Location: Situated in a 'very desirable neighborhood' in Orange, California, indicating strong market demand, good local amenities, and potential for property value appreciation.
Long-Term Ownership: Being on the market for the first time in decades suggests a well-maintained property by long-term owners and can attract significant buyer interest due to its rarity and potential for value creation through updates.
Dedicated Parking: Each unit benefits from its own one-car garage, providing convenient, secure parking and additional storage space for residents.
Ample Outdoor Space: The property includes a small front courtyard and 'nice side and back yard,' offering valuable private outdoor areas for both units.
Cons
Age and Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1968, the property is over 50 years old, suggesting original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes that may require significant capital expenditure for updates and modernization.
Lack of Specific Renovation Details: The description does not mention any recent upgrades or renovations, implying that the property may require substantial investment to meet current market standards and tenant expectations.
No Mention of Cooling System: For a property of this age and location in Orange, CA, the absence of a mentioned cooling system (e.g., central AC) could be a significant drawback, especially during warmer months, potentially requiring a costly installation.
