Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1976, this property shows its age despite recent interior paint. The kitchen features dated white laminate countertops, basic white cabinets, and older white appliances, suggesting a renovation from 20-30+ years ago or original components. The bathroom also presents an outdated style with a cultured marble vanity and older tile in the shower. While the 'Pavel tile floor' is clean, its style is also dated. The property is functional and appears well-maintained, but significant updates are needed in the kitchen and bathroom to align with current aesthetic and quality standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional School District: Located within the highly-rated Irvine Unified School District, including top-tier Woodbridge High and Lakeside Middle schools, a significant draw for families and property value.
Prime Irvine Location: Situated in Irvine, a highly desirable city known for its safety, amenities, and quality of life, enhancing property appeal and long-term value.
Scenic Stream View Patio: Offers a private patio with a tranquil stream view, providing a desirable outdoor living space and aesthetic appeal.
Recent Interior Updates: Features new interior paint and Pavel tile flooring, presenting a fresh, modern, and move-in ready condition for buyers.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a recent price drop from $525,000 to $499,999, indicating a more competitive offering and potential for a good value.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $500 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly impacting the overall cost of ownership and affordability.
Limited Living Space: With only 661 square feet and a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the unit offers limited living space, potentially restricting its appeal to a broader market.
In-Kitchen Laundry Placement: The laundry hookup located within the kitchen can be inconvenient, noisy, and may detract from the kitchen's functionality and aesthetic.
