Condition Rating
Tear down
Built in 1965, this property is 59 years old. The listing description explicitly states it's 'poised for transformation' and an opportunity to 'craft their dream remodel or construct a bespoke residence,' with 'drafted plans for an ADU.' This language, combined with the complete absence of interior photos (especially kitchen and bathrooms), strongly indicates that the existing structure is not the primary value proposition and is expected to be extensively renovated or demolished. The property's value is clearly based on the land and its redevelopment potential, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Premier Coastal Location: Situated in the highly coveted Newport Heights neighborhood on Tustin Avenue, offering an unparalleled coastal lifestyle in one of Orange County's most desirable communities.
Significant Development Opportunity: The property is explicitly 'poised for transformation,' presenting a rare chance for a discerning buyer to undertake a custom remodel or construct a bespoke residence.
Approved ADU Plans Available: Availability of drafted plans for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a garage adds substantial value, offering potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Access to Top-Tier Amenities: Enjoy immediate access to best-in-class restaurants, charming boutiques, top-rated schools, vibrant parks, and iconic beaches, all within walking or biking distance.
Generous Lot Size: A prime 6,375 sqft lot provides ample space for a substantial new construction or a significantly expanded custom home in a high-demand area.
Cons
Extensive Renovation/Rebuild Required: The property's current condition is rated as 'tear-down,' indicating the existing 1965 structure requires a complete overhaul or demolition, necessitating substantial additional investment beyond the purchase price.
High Total Investment: The $3,000,000 list price, combined with the necessity for major construction or renovation, implies a significant overall financial commitment for the buyer.
Outdated Existing Structure: Built in 1965, the current home is 59 years old, suggesting outdated systems, finishes, and floor plan that do not align with modern luxury standards, reinforcing the need for extensive work.
