Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1959, this property is 65 years old and shows clear signs of significant deferred maintenance and outdated features. The description itself notes 'significant potential with renovation,' indicating a need for substantial work. The kitchen, a key area, features very old wood cabinets, tile countertops, and dated appliances, requiring a complete overhaul. Other areas show popcorn ceilings, older flooring, and general finishes that are far from modern. While the property appears livable and does not seem to have structural defects requiring demolition, it requires substantial rehabilitation to meet contemporary living standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.

Pros
Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated in the highly coveted Victoria Beach subdivision of Laguna Beach, offering a prestigious address and desirable coastal lifestyle.
Duplex Configuration & Income Potential: Features two independent units, providing excellent opportunities for rental income, multi-generational living, or a live-in/rent-out scenario.
Ocean Views & Outdoor Spaces: Boasts ocean views, with the upper unit featuring a large sundeck and the lower unit a charming patio, enhancing the coastal living experience.
Walkability to Premier Amenities: Unbeatable proximity to historic Victoria Beach, upscale dining, the Montage resort, and Aliso Beach Plaza, offering unparalleled convenience and leisure options.
Significant Value-Add Potential: The property offers substantial renovation potential, allowing a buyer to customize and significantly increase equity in a prime market.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Built in 1959, the property is explicitly noted for its 'significant potential with renovation,' indicating a need for substantial capital investment and effort to modernize.
Limited Ocean View Scope: While ocean-view, the description specifies 'partial ocean views' from the upper unit, suggesting views may not be expansive or available from all primary living areas.
Compact Lot Size: At 2,178 sqft, the lot is relatively small, which could limit future expansion possibilities or extensive private outdoor living space.
