Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1921, this property is over 100 years old and shows clear signs of severe neglect. The boarded-up windows visible in the images strongly suggest the property is currently uninhabitable or unsafe. The listing description itself highlights the need for 'extensive modernization, system upgrades, and potential remediation of deferred maintenance,' and markets the property primarily for 'expansion or redevelopment' rather than its current living condition. Without any interior photos, it's impossible to assess the kitchen and bathroom directly, but the exterior condition and description indicate substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required, aligning with a 'poor' condition rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Redevelopment Potential: Significant upside for expansion or multi-unit development (up to four units) under SB9 and AB 1154, appealing to investors and developers.
Corner Lot Advantage: Rare corner-lot configuration provides enhanced flexibility for design, access, and potential future subdivision or expansion.
Emerging Neighborhood: Located just one block from newly built 2024 million-dollar townhomes, indicating a rapidly appreciating and desirable micro-market.
Value-Driven Entry Point: Positioned as the lowest-cost single-family residence in Orange County, offering an accessible entry for value-add buyers or investors.
Investor/Developer Focus: Explicitly suited for seasoned investors or developers, highlighting its specific niche and high potential for value creation.
Cons

Historic Age: Built in 1921, the property likely requires extensive modernization, system upgrades, and potential remediation of deferred maintenance.
Limited Existing Living Space: With only 618 sqft, the current structure is very small, necessitating significant expansion or complete redevelopment for most contemporary living standards.
Substantial Capital Investment Required: The property's value proposition is tied to its redevelopment potential, implying a need for substantial additional capital and effort beyond the purchase price for renovation or new construction.
