Condition Rating
Good
This 1920-built home has been extensively remodeled, as evidenced by the description and images. The interior features modern laminate wood flooring, fresh paint, recessed lighting, and updated ceiling fans. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry, while the bathrooms feature modern vanities, updated fixtures, and subway tile surrounds. Although the exterior shows some age and the backyard is basic, the key interior areas (kitchen and bathrooms) are in good, move-in ready condition, aligning with a renovation within the last 5-15 years. No immediate repairs or updates appear necessary.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Remodeled & Charming: The home is described as 'charming remodeled' with laminate wood floors and a bright open layout, suggesting a move-in ready condition with updated aesthetics.
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in a 'Prime Eastside location,' it offers excellent walkability to local shops, restaurants, and is minutes from Downtown Santa Ana, South Coast Plaza, and top schools, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Investment Potential: Currently occupied by a reliable long-term tenant, this property offers immediate rental income, making it an attractive option for investors or a flexible purchase for future owner-occupancy.
Corner Lot & Outdoor Space: As a corner-lot home, it likely benefits from increased natural light and privacy. The presence of two large porches and gated yards provides desirable outdoor living space.
Spacious Layout: With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1678 sqft, the residence offers a spacious layout suitable for families, providing ample living and private space.
Cons
Age of Property (Potential for Hidden Costs): Built in 1920, despite being remodeled, older homes can have underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may not be fully updated, potentially leading to future maintenance or upgrade costs.
Tenant Occupancy (Owner-Occupant Challenges): While a strength for investors, the presence of a long-term tenant can complicate showings, delay an owner-occupant's move-in, and may require navigating tenant rights for relocation if the buyer intends to occupy.
Lack of Specific Modern Amenities/Systems: The description highlights cosmetic remodels but does not specify updates to major systems like HVAC (e.g., central air conditioning) or mention a garage, which could be a significant comfort or convenience drawback for some buyers.
