Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1956, this property is explicitly described as a 'cosmetic fixer' with a kitchen that 'will need some updating.' While major systems like the roof, furnace, and water heater are newer, the images confirm the kitchen features outdated pink countertops, older cabinets, and appliances. Bathrooms also appear dated. The flooring is a mix of older hardwood and worn carpet. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, indicating the home is aged but maintained, requires minor cosmetic updates, and has functional but outdated components.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive Lot & Outdoor Space: The property boasts a generous 7,220 sqft lot with a large, versatile backyard, ideal for entertaining, gardening, and outdoor living.
Significant ADU Potential: The substantial lot size offers excellent potential for adding an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing future income generation or expanded living space.
Key System Upgrades: Recent updates including a newer roof, brand new furnace, and new water heater mitigate immediate major capital expenditures for a buyer.
Prime Central Costa Mesa Location: Situated in the desirable College Park subdivision, the home offers convenient access to top-rated Newport Mesa Unified schools, shopping, and major freeways.
Desirable Single-Story Layout: The single-story floor plan provides ease of access and a highly sought-after living arrangement.
Cons
Requires Cosmetic Renovation: Described as a 'cosmetic fixer,' the property, particularly the kitchen, requires significant updating to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1956, the home's age suggests potential for underlying infrastructure needs (e.g., plumbing, electrical) beyond stated updates, which could lead to unforeseen costs.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1,190 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom home on such a large lot, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive interiors without immediate expansion plans.
