Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1981, the property shows signs of regular maintenance and some recent cosmetic updates, such as the 'recently upgraded flooring downstairs' and fresh paint. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances (except for the dishwasher), older granite countertops, and traditional white cabinets. The bathrooms also appear dated with older vanities, light fixtures, and shower surrounds. While functional and clean, the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, placing it in the 'fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Educational & Lifestyle Location: The property boasts an unparalleled location within walking distance to UCI, University High School (a top-rated institution), grocery stores, and various restaurants, offering exceptional convenience for students, faculty, and families.
Dual Master Suites & Spacious Layout: Featuring the largest floor plan in the community, this home offers a highly desirable layout with two upstairs master suites, each with a private bath, providing excellent privacy and flexibility.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wide array of community amenities within Columbia Square, including a swimming pool, BBQ area, basketball court, sand volleyball court, and playground, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Award-Winning School Zoning: Zoned for highly-rated and award-winning schools, including University High School, which is a significant advantage for families seeking quality education.
Upgraded Interior & Private Outdoor Space: The home features recently upgraded downstairs flooring and a private, gated patio that opens to a lush greenbelt, offering a refreshed living space and a pleasant outdoor retreat.
Cons
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1981, the property is over four decades old, which may necessitate future updates or maintenance for major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not indicate the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern during Irvine's warmer seasons.
Recurring HOA Fees: A monthly association fee of $400.0 is a recurring expense that adds to the cost of homeownership and should be factored into a buyer's budget.
