Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1973, making it over 50 years old. While the images show clear updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, the style of these renovations, including the speckled granite countertops, light wood cabinetry, and earthy-toned bathroom tiles, appears to be from approximately 15-20 years ago. This places the renovations within the '15 to 30 years ago' range, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria. The home is well-maintained and functional, with updated laminate/engineered wood flooring and stainless steel appliances, but the aesthetic of the major updated areas (kitchen and bathrooms) is showing signs of being outdated compared to current trends. There are no visible major defects, but the age of the original structure combined with the estimated age of the renovations prevents it from reaching a 'Good' score, which typically implies more recent updates (within 5-15 years).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated on a desirable corner lot, only 4 miles from the beach, and within walking distance to local restaurants, shops, and the library, offering excellent convenience and lifestyle benefits.
Exceptional Views & Privacy: Boasts amazing valley and mountain views, ocean breezes, and backs to a greenbelt and open field, ensuring privacy with no rear neighbors. Features a large patio and a master bedroom balcony for enjoying the scenery.
Strong School District & No Mello Roos: Located within an award-winning school district (Moulton Elementary 8/10, Dana Hills High 8/10) and benefits from no Mello Roos, enhancing long-term value and affordability for homeowners.
Community Amenities: The HOA includes access to a community pool, providing recreational opportunities and a desirable lifestyle amenity for residents.
Functional Layout & Master Suite: Features an open floor plan, a cozy brick gas fireplace, and an oversized master bedroom with a large sitting area and private balcony, offering comfortable and versatile living spaces.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1973, the property's age suggests potential for necessary updates to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) or interior finishes to align with modern buyer expectations, as no extensive renovations are detailed.
Significant Price Reduction History: Multiple price drops from the original list price of $1.299M to $1.125M indicate potential initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyers, which could suggest market resistance or perceived value concerns.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: While ocean breezes are mentioned, the property description does not specify a cooling system, which is common for homes of this vintage and could be a significant drawback during warmer months, potentially requiring a costly installation.
