Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1956, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The description explicitly states 'new flooring, bathroom tile, and carpet,' 'upgraded kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances,' and 'tastefully renovated bathrooms with designer tile, new vanities, and contemporary fixtures.' The images confirm a modern, clean, and virtually new appearance in the kitchen and bathrooms, with contemporary finishes, stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting. This aligns with the 'Excellent' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 years, with all components being new or virtually new and meeting current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Desirable Coastal Location: Situated in a highly sought-after Orange County neighborhood, offering a coastal lifestyle with close proximity to Newport and Huntington Beaches.
Turnkey Modern Interior: Recently renovated with new flooring, carpet, updated bathrooms, and an upgraded kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, making it move-in ready.
Exceptional Local Amenities: Conveniently located near major freeways (55, 405, PCH), premier shopping and dining destinations (South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island), and extensive outdoor recreational opportunities (Fairview Park, Santa Ana River Trail).
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Benefits from being in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, with proximity to highly-rated schools.
Practical Parking & Storage: Features an extended driveway providing ample guest parking and an attached two-car garage for additional convenience and storage.

Cons

Compact Living Space: With 1040 sqft, the interior living space may be considered modest for a 3-bedroom home, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger residences.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1956, the property's older foundation and potential for original infrastructure (not explicitly updated in description) could lead to future maintenance considerations, despite recent cosmetic renovations.
Pricing Above Market Estimate: The current list price of $1.25M is 6% higher than the property's estimated market value, which could impact buyer perception and negotiation leverage.
