Condition Rating
Fair
This property presents a significant dichotomy in condition. The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) appears to be recently built or extensively renovated, featuring a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, light countertops, wood-look tile flooring, and recessed lighting, placing it in excellent condition. However, the main house, built in 1949, shows considerable age and is largely outdated. Its bathrooms feature older vanities, dated tile work, and shower enclosures, while the living areas have older tile flooring and light fixtures. The reliance on a portable AC unit in the main house suggests a lack of modern central cooling. While the ADU is move-in ready and modern, the main house requires substantial updates and repairs to meet current standards, particularly in its kitchen (not pictured but inferred from other areas), bathrooms, and cooling system. This blend of an excellent ADU and an outdated main house results in an overall 'Fair' assessment, as the main house pulls the overall condition down from 'Good', but the ADU prevents it from being 'Poor'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7380, living area = 1828.
ADU with Paid-off Solar: The property includes a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with paid-off solar panels, offering significant value for rental income or multi-generational living and reduced energy costs.
Income Potential / Multi-generational Living: The presence of a separate ADU provides excellent flexibility for generating rental income or accommodating a large family, enhancing the property's financial and lifestyle appeal.
Generous Lot Size: With a lot size over 7,300 sqft, the property offers ample outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or potential future expansion.
Convenient Location: The home is strategically located close to good schools, shopping centers, and offers easy access to the freeway, providing convenience for daily commutes and amenities.
Ample Parking: An open driveway provides a lot of parking space, which is a valuable asset, especially for a property with multiple units or a large family.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1828, other record living area = 1028. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Main Structure: Built in 1949, the main house may feature older systems and finishes, potentially requiring significant updates or renovations not explicitly detailed in the listing.
Lack of Cooling System Mention: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer months in Santa Ana.
Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Without explicit mention of recent comprehensive renovations for the main house, an older property like this may carry a risk of deferred maintenance or require immediate upgrades to meet modern standards.
