Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1974 and owned by the same family for 51 years, this property exhibits a significantly dated interior. The kitchen features original or very old oak cabinets, dated white tile flooring, and a mix of older white and newer stainless steel appliances, indicating piecemeal updates rather than a comprehensive renovation. A bedroom shows very old green carpeting and wood paneling. The property requires substantial interior updates and rehabilitation to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Accessibility: The property boasts a prime location within walking distance to the award-winning Oxford Preparatory Academy, close proximity to shopping centers, dining, banks, parks, and scenic trails, with easy access to major freeways for convenient commuting.
Significant Cost Savings: Homeowners benefit from no Mello Roos, no HOA fees, and a low tax rate, which significantly reduces the ongoing cost of ownership.
Top-Tier School Access: Its location within walking distance of the highly-rated Oxford Preparatory Academy (TK–8) is a major draw for families prioritizing quality education.
Rare Market Opportunity: Being on the market for the first time in 51 years, this property represents a unique and rare opportunity to acquire a home with a stable, long-term ownership history in a desirable neighborhood.
Established Community Amenities: Situated in the heart of Mission Viejo, the property offers access to all the amenities the well-established community has to offer, including parks, trails, and recreational facilities.
Cons
Dated Condition & Renovation Needs: Built in 1974 and owned by the same family for over five decades, the property likely requires substantial interior and system updates to modernize and meet contemporary buyer expectations.
Overpriced Relative to Market Value: The current listing price is 13% higher than the property's estimated value, which may present a challenge in attracting offers at the asking price and could indicate a need for price adjustment.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'view:None,' which could be a drawback for buyers seeking scenic vistas, especially in a region where views often add significant value to a home.
