Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1962, the property shows signs of being aged but maintained. The kitchen features newer countertops and backsplash, but the cabinets and appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop) are significantly outdated, indicating a partial rather than extensive renovation. The bathroom appears more recently updated with a modern vanity, countertop, and flooring. General living areas are carpeted and appear well-kept but not newly renovated. Overall, the home is functional but requires minor updates to meet contemporary aesthetic and functional standards, particularly in the kitchen.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Situated in the highly desirable 'Top of the World' neighborhood of Laguna Beach, offering prestige and excellent proximity to Top of the World Elementary (0.15 miles), Alta Laguna Park, and extensive hiking/biking trails.
Panoramic Views: Boasts breathtaking panoramic coastline and Catalina Island views, a premium feature significantly enhancing the property's appeal and value.
Generous Outdoor Living Spaces: Features a spacious front yard with grass, an inviting upstairs deck, and a private backyard with a patio, providing diverse areas for relaxation and entertainment.
Functional Layout & Natural Light: The interior offers a functional floor plan complemented by abundant natural light, creating a bright and comfortable living environment.
Convenient Parking & Lot Size: Includes a two-car garage with direct home access, a practical amenity, and sits on a generous 8,547 sqft lot, offering ample outdoor space.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1962, the home may require significant updates or renovations to meet contemporary aesthetic and functional standards, potentially incurring additional costs for a buyer.
Price Reductions: Multiple price reductions from the original list price ($2.495M to $2.345M) suggest potential challenges in market valuation or buyer interest at higher price points, indicating a need for competitive pricing.
Lack of Specific Interior Updates Mentioned: While described as having a 'functional floor plan,' the absence of explicit details regarding recent high-end interior renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms) for a 1962-built home in this price range could imply a need for modernization.
