Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this condo is well-maintained with functional systems and recent cosmetic updates such as laminate flooring and fresh paint. However, the kitchen features painted cabinets, an older mosaic tile backsplash, and a mix of appliance ages (some newer stainless steel, some older white), while the bathrooms have basic, somewhat dated fixtures and finishes (e.g., vanity light, shower surround). These elements, though functional, show clear signs of being outdated and would likely require minor cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, placing it in 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Investment Opportunity: The property is explicitly marketed as a 'Prime investment opportunity' with a 'reliable tenant in place paying $3,200/month,' offering immediate cash flow for investors.
Exceptional Historic Location: Ideally located near the Los Rios Historic District, Mission San Juan Capistrano, dining, shops, train station, and trails to Doheny Beach, providing significant lifestyle and historical appeal.
Desirable Unit Configuration: As a corner-unit condo with no one above or below, it offers enhanced privacy and reduced noise, a significant advantage over typical condominium units. Includes a 1-car detached garage.
Community Amenities & Views: Access to community amenities such as a pool, spa, and greenbelt areas adds value and lifestyle benefits. The home also enjoys charming hill and Mission Basilica views.
Low Maintenance: Described as a 'Low-maintenance property,' which is attractive for both investors and potential owner-occupants seeking ease of ownership.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old, suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes may be original or dated, potentially requiring future updates or maintenance.
Modified Bedroom Layout: The property was 'originally 2' bedrooms with one 'thoughtfully divided' to create a third. While offering versatility, this non-standard modification might not appeal to all buyers seeking a traditional 3-bedroom layout and could impact perceived functionality.
Compact Living Space: At 1012 square feet for 3 bedrooms, the living spaces may be considered compact, potentially limiting comfort or functionality for some buyers, especially larger households.
